Stafford County, Va. – An elected official’s car has become an apparent target of vandals.

Stafford County Supervisor Susan Stimpson’s (R-Falmouth) car window was shattered and a brief case taken from the car while it was parked outside her home on Hunter Drive in the Leeland Station subdivision sometime between Thursday night and Friday morning.

A source says the brief case was later returned, but other items outside of plain view, such as cash, were not taken from the car.

No other cars on the street were tampered with that evening and investigators are looking into “all possibilities” in the case, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

Investigators have not named any suspects in the case and ask anyone with information to call Stafford County Crime Solvers at 540-650-2020.

Stimpson was elected to the Board in 2009 and lives in Falmouth with her husband, a retired U.S. Marine and two children.
