Williamstown Police Looking into Damage at Post Office

Staff Reports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Police are looking into property damage at the U.S. Post Office on Spring Street.
 
On June 28, the Police Department received a report from a member of the Williamstown Garden Club, who was watering flowers at the Post Office and, "noticed that a granite slab had been displaced and a metal grate had been damaged," according to a police report.
 
Officer David Jennings responded to the scene and reported that it, "appeared that a vehicle or piece of machinery had struck the granite slab, causing it to shift into the metal grate and bend it," Jennings wrote.
 
By the middle of July, the damage to the grate was still apparent.
 
Williamstown Police contacted the postmaster, who said he would notify his supervisor about the damage.
 
Police Chief Michael Ziemba on Wednesday confirmed there is no closed-circuit television footage that provides details on how the damage occurred.
 
The damage is estimated to be worth about $500, according to the police report.
