DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — Two boys were turned in by their mothers
Monday to face charges for allegedly causing $50,000 worth of
vandalism damage to a central Florida elementary school's media
center, investigators said.
The 12- and 13-year-old boys broke into Friendship Elementary
School in Deltona on Saturday during the daytime and then
returned at night to cause more damage, according to the Volusia
County Sheriff's Office. Deltona is about 30 miles (48 km) north
of Orlando.
Video posted by the sheriff's office showed a shattered glass
door, overturned tables and shelves, shredded books and
graffiti.
The boys confessed to the vandalism, according to a social media
post from the sheriff's office.
They were charged with burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief
and theft.
