Vandalism in Oak Hall subdivision

This isn't pretty to write, or read. I learned today about an overnight incident in the Oak Hall subdivision that made my blood boil. Oak Hall is located in southeast Brentwood near Ravenwood High School and Kenrose Elementary.
A family there was targeted by vandals who not only TP'd their yard, which by itself could be considered typical teenage behavior, especially in the summer time. But this crew also left human feces on the home's front steps and strung fishing line between the front porch posts, obviously hoping someone would come out and trip or otherwise take a tumble.
Last week's Brentwood crime report included a case of vandalism at nearby Kenrose Elementary School. And I'm familiar with similar events in and around the area in the past.
I've contacted the Brentwood Police Department about the incident above and asked if it is being investigated as a hate crime. There are circumstances I understand that might warrant it.
If you have any information concerning the vandalism, please contact the Brentwood Police Department at 371-0160.
There is no place for activities like this in Brentwood, or anywhere for that matter. It's not funny. It's destructive. And I truly hope that whoever is responsible is punished for their actions.
