The string of Christmas decoration damage appears to be spreading in Baltimore County. This time, reports out of Essex indicate holiday displays were ruined.

According to ABC2, a 4-year-old and 6-year-old were behind a Dec. 5 incident on Delaware Ave. The boys were caught in the act of yuletide vandalism. The owner of the home told police he wanted to be reiumbursed, but didnโ€™t want to see the boys get in trouble.

Ultimately, they were not charged, but their mother was notified. No word yet on how this will affect what theyโ€™ll find under the tree.
