PORT NECHES, Texas — The Port Neches Little League facilities are being cleaned up following destruction left from vandals from over the weekend.
This is the second time in a month that the Little League has been targeted and it was caught on camera.
Port Neches Little League President Trey Gaspard says the shocking part is surveillance video shows those vandals appear to be 9-12 years old.
Gaspard says they are a nonprofit organization and these repairs cost money. Now, they are forced to ask for donations to pay for the damage.
"Just trying to get a better awareness for respect of property that's especially not theirs," Gaspard said.
In surveillance video, a group of kids tug on the concession stand metal hurricane protection cover. Once opened, they hit the windows with sticks.
"And then the older taller one looks to throw an object through the window causing the break," he said.
Gaspard is trying to comprehend this senseless act.
"They were bored and thought it was just fun to destroy property. There were no attempts made to get into the concession stand, which I'm grateful for," he said.
Last month, he says a group of kids destroyed the league's women's restroom.
"Some vandals came in and plugged the drains in the sink, left the water running, smashed the tank lids on both toilets, and basically demolished the changing station," he said.
The league is ordering a new window and wants to add more locked gates but it's expensive.
"It's just a struggle to get the right amount of sponsorships and donations to just maintain the facilities. But now, we have to worry about incidents taking place and improve damaged goods that should've never been damaged in the first place," he said.
The league wants to lend a hand out to troubled youth.
"We really, truly feel like it's kids like this that need a league like this. It'll help get them off the damage route of just damaging things. You come to a league like this and we got discipline ship," he said.
