The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information to help find the person who vandalized 12 homes and 17 vehicles in a neighborhood near the golf course.
Deputies were dispatched at approximately 8:08 a.m. Dec. 3 to a home on Desert Lakes Drive for a property damage report.

Comment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.
