The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of arson on Aug. 13 on Hoag Road.
According to an OCSD report, a 36-year-old man said some kids had set fire to his mailbox and threw toilet paper in his trees.
Another homeowner on Bunny Run Boulevard told the deputy he had heard a loud thump on his door. He went to check the noise and discovered a paper bag burning on his front deck. The first man said he heard kids running from the area and thought he heard them run into a wooded area across from the other man’s home.
Both men knew of no enemies in the neighborhood. Damage to the man’s mailbox was valued at $50; there was no damage to the other man’s deck.
