Investigators believe the suspects are using a launching device to hurl the river rocks. In some instances, the river rocks have traveled through residential windows at dangerous speeds.

In one case, a large river rock went through the front window of a residence and continued across a living room. The rock implanted into the sheetrock of a wall, next to a child’s day crib. Fortunately, no one was injured.
