‘Doesn't make any sense': Community reacts after more than 30 cars vandalized in Quincy

Yahoo2 days ago
Quincy Police say they found more than 30 cars vandalized Saturday in a few different locations.
Surveillance video shows the suspect targeting multiple cars in broad daylight in the Newbury Street area of North Quincy.
Police also found cars keyed on Hancock Street, Quincy Shore Drive and Commander Shea Boulevard.
Richie Coughlin, one of the victims of this crime spree, says Massachusetts State Police joined Quincy detectives to gather evidence in an effort to find the person responsible.
'They ended up taking fingerprints from my car because we have cameras all around here and they got a good look at him and he put his hands all over my car so they printed it,' said Coughlin. 'I've got a police report on the insurance should take care of it, but yeah it's a wicked inconvenience and the fact that so many people got hit it just doesn't make any sense.'
Cliford Dejean, a local pastor at Bethel Grace Restored Church, described the incident as 'Disturbing.'
'If something like that happened, you feel like, okay, if I'm here by myself or just with the kids, what can happen to me, so it's really disturbing.'
Dejean also shared a message for the suspect.
'If you can find peace, try to find it another way, but not to harm people or do something bad to other people who hasn't done anything to you, that's really not good.'
Police are asking people in this section of North Quincy to check their surveillance cameras for a possible suspect walking around 8 AM Saturday.

Former West Des Moines teacher charged with sexual assault, kidnapping of 13-year-old

A former West Des Moines Community School District teacher has been arrested and charged for allegedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old in his home. Danny Allen Hoyt, 57, of Indianola, is facing several sex abuse charges after police say he picked up the teenager from Knoxville on July 19 and allegedly made the victim wear a blindfold when they entered the Indianola area and drove to his home in rural Warren County, court documents said. Hoyt allegedly sexually assaulted and restrained the victim to a bed inside his house, court documents said. Hoyt also allegedly forced the the teenager to drink a THC-infused beverage. Hoyt then placed a blindfold on the 13-year-old and dropped them back off in Knoxville, according to a criminal complaint. Authorities found a large quantity of THC products in Hoyt's residence, which included THC vapes, gummies and beverages during a search warrant, according to court documents. Officials from West Des Moines schools told the Register they are aware of Hoyt's charges and said he had been on administrative leave since April 1. Hoyt did not teach students for the remainder of the school year and retired at the end of the spring semester. 'While we cannot comment on the details of an ongoing legal matter or personnel issues, we understand the seriousness of the situation and will fully cooperate with law enforcement as needed,' officials said in a statement. Hoyt is currently being held in the Warren County Jail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 4. José Mendiola is a breaking news reporter for the Register.
