WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — The juveniles behind the vandalism at the historic Camp Evans Officer Quarters have come forward and admitted their involvement, Wall Township Police confirmed Thursday.
According to authorities, the young suspects, whose identities were not released due to their age, accepted responsibility for the damage caused to the landmark, which holds significant historical value for the community.
Their parents have also stepped in, agreeing to cover the full cost of repairs needed to restore the site. Police noted the parents’ cooperation in addressing the incident, calling it an important step toward accountability.
“We would like to thank the parents of those involved for their cooperation, support, and for taking meaningful steps to ensure their children are held responsible,” the department said in a statement.
The statement emphasized the township’s ongoing commitment to preserving historic sites like Camp Evans, a former military base that played a role in both World War II and Cold War-era research.
Camp Evans, part of the InfoAge Science and History Museums complex, has long been considered a symbol of Wall Township’s role in military and technological history.
Police did not announce any formal charges, and it remains unclear whether the juveniles will face further legal consequences.
