LEEDS, Maine (AP) The Maine Warden Service is looking for vandals who destroyed acres of cornfields by apparently driving through them.

The service says the vandalism occurred at Barker Farm in Leeds, about 50 miles north of Portland, on Friday night. The vandals cut a path about 800 feet long and 8 to 14 feet wide in the shape of a line and a circle.

The warden service has not identified any suspects, and it is looking for people who might have information about the destruction.

The Bangor Daily News reports the fields were full of harvest-ready corn. The act was discovered on Saturday.
