Hegeler Carus Mansion vandalized Sunday night
Nature of artifacts make estimating damage value difficult
LA SALLE, Ill. — On Sunday evening, the Hegeler Carus Mansion, a National Historic Landmark in La Salle, Ill., suffered a break in and vandalism.
Vandals threw a brick through a ground-floor window and attempted to gain entry. When they couldn’t enter through the broken window, a garbage can was used to smash a door open.
Once inside, however, the vandals quickly triggered the motion detector alarm and fled, but considerable damage had already been done.
