A man has been charged with damaging the homes and vehicles of his ex-girlfriend’s family in DuPage County from May 22 and June 19, 2019.

A man has been charged with vandalizing the homes of his former girlfriend’s relatives earlier this year in the west suburbs.

Colin Herbstritt, 22, is charged with five misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to property, according to a statement from Naperville police.

Between May 22 and June 19, Herbstritt damaged vehicles and homes in Naperville and DuPage County owned by his ex-girlfriend’s family, police said.
