Adams County, WI – Authorities are investigating a string of mailbox vandalism incidents reported in rural parts of Adams County this week, prompting a call for public assistance.
According to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received multiple reports of mailboxes being damaged in the Town of Jackson and the Town of New Haven. The incidents were reported along the 400–500 blocks of Fur Lane, the 500 block of Gale Court, and the 500 block of Golden Court, all located in Adams County, Wisconsin.
Officials say the damage appears to be intentional and is being investigated as criminal damage to property. Photos shared by the Sheriff’s Office show mailboxes knocked over, broken, or scattered along snow-covered rural roads.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in these areas, or who has information related to the vandalism, to come forward. Residents are urged not to attempt to confront or apprehend any suspects themselves.
Those with information are asked to contact Deputy Dunse and reference case numbers #25-7947, #25-7949, #25-7950, or #25-7951. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Adams County Crime Stoppers by using the P3Tips app or by calling (877) 524-5846.
Crime Stoppers officials note that tipsters may be eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000 and can remain anonymous.
Mailbox vandalism can disrupt mail delivery and create safety hazards along roadways, particularly during winter conditions when visibility and shoulder space are limited. Residents in affected areas are encouraged to check their property and report any additional damage.
Anyone living nearby who noticed unusual vehicle traffic or activity during recent days is urged to share what they saw with authorities.
