NEWTOWN, CT — Police are investigating mailbox vandalism in the area of Taunton Hill and Taunton Ridge Roads.

Most of the mailboxes were recovered in the same area where they were taken, but there are still some that are missing. "We are asking that our walking and jogging community in that area keep an eye out for the missing mailboxes alongside the road, and if found give the police department a call so we can return them to the owners," the PD said in a statement.
