Vandals target Medford homes under construction

Medford, Ore. – Police are investigating a string of burglaries and vandalisms targeting homes under construction in the city of Medford.

Officers said three houses off Shamrock Drive and one on Mary Bee Lane were severely damaged in the break-ins.

All the homes were under construction at the time.
