2 fl boys were arrested after allegedly vandalizing their school day program library, causation more than $50,000 in damages, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, according to New York Post.
The suspects were identified as 12-year-old Felix Cohen Romero and 13-year-old Bentley Ryan Wehrly. Both admitted to the damage at the Friendship Elementary School library in Deltona, deputies said in a Facebook post.
Bodycam video posted Sunday showed deputies responding to a fire alarm at about 1 a.m. Inside, they found shattered glass, broken furniture, graffiti, and books scattered across the media center.
Police investigated the incident, and anyone found responsible may face felony charges, the university wrote. “Criminal damage to the university’s buildings and spaces — for any reason or purpose — is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
Surveillance cameras captured the boys entering the building. One wore a Monster Energy hat and both had masks, images released by the sheriff’s office showed.
