Police say it was anything but a child's game of marbles. Someone threw the small glass spheres to shatter several store front windows in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. OSPD Public Information Officer Michael Pol tells News 5 four businesses were damaged during overnight hours. Store front glass was broken at Goodyear Tire, Wendy's, Express Medical and AC-Man. At each location, officers found small glass marbles that were apparently thrown to break the store front windows. Pol says the marbles were collected as evidence and will be processed for DNA and fingerprint information. Anyone with information is asked to call OSPD at 228.875.2211.
