HATLEY, Wis., Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Police in Hatley, Wis., said they arrested three vandals after family members who witnessed the suspects damaging their mailbox hunted them down.

Greg Fisher, 49, his son, Dustin, 18, and his wife, Kim, 47, said they pulled an all-night stakeout Saturday after their mailbox was damaged for the fourth time in two weeks, the Wausau (Wis.) Daily Herald reported Wednesday.

Fisher said his family saw the occupants of a truck smash the mailbox between 2 and 3 a.m. Sunday and Dustin pursued the vehicle in his car. However, he was only able to obtain a partial license plate number before the truck sped off at speeds approaching 100 miles per hour.

The family contacted the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, but a deputy was unable to identify the vehicle with only the partial number. However, Kim and Dustin Fisher saw the truck hours later at a BP gas station and blocked the vehicle's means of exit until deputies could arrive at the scene.

A police report said two 16-year-olds were held on juvenile charges and a 19-year-old was held on suspicion of criminal damage to property.
