LEWISBORO, N.Y. Police are investigating a harassment complaint from residents on Lake Kitchiwan Drive who said they are the target of ongoing criminal mischief from neighbors and it goes back into last year.

On Jan. 10, someone threw a rock through the Jeeps rear window.
Police told the family that they will increase patrols in the area and share all information about the case with the state police.
