An equipment bag belonging to the New Canaan High School Rams football team was reportedly stolen and urinated on during the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl in Darien Thursday morning.
Darien Police told the Darien Times that the culprits urinated on a New Canaan player’s property while it was in the team's locker room.
Police Capt. Fred Komm told the Times that it “doesn’t appear, at this time, that current Darien High School students were involved.”
The incident is reportedly under investigation.
The Darien High School Blue Wave football team won the game 36-23, taking home the 2012 Turkey Bowl Trophy for the first time since 2001.
The Rams, who now hold a record of 13-5-1 over The Wave in the Turkey Bowl, and an overall record of 48-34-2, were on a seven game winning streak coming into Thursday's game.
In 2010, five Darien players were removed from the team and suspended from school after they painted graffiti on New Canaan High School property, less than 36 hours before the rival schools were to face each other at the annual Thanksgiving Day game.
