For some reason, people keep taking aim at the wind turbines in Schuylkill County.
According to State Police-Frackville, back on May 19, police responded to a call regarding a damaged wind turbine owned by Avangrid Renewables.
Police say their investigation revealed that someone pried open a vent door to one of the turbines located near Route 924 in West Mahanoy Twp.
Once they got that open, they fired a single shot from a .22-caliber gun into the turbine.
After unloading the weapon into the turbine, the person or persons fled the scene using a side-by-side or other ATV.
Police are asking for the public’s help with any information regarding this incident. If anyone does have information, they’re asked to call State Police-Frackville at 570-874-5300.
Back in March, police were also alerted to a similar incident involving a pair of wind turbines near Raven Run Rd. and Ringtown Blvd.
