Three kids arrested after school break-in causes $50K in damage

Oklahoma authorities say three kids broke into a school and trashed the building, leaving more than $50,000 in damages.

Police said Monday the children, ages 6, 8, and 12, broke a glass door to gain access to Altus Intermediate School for the vandalism spree.

“Surveillance cameras inside the school show the juveniles damaging computers, dumping paint on floors and walls, using fire extinguishers inside multiple rooms and damaging interior doors and interior windows,” the Altus Police Department said.

Photos released of the damages showed red and blue paint splattered throughout the building with numerous objects knocked to the floor.

The youngsters were arrested Sunday in connection with the burglary and later released to their parents, police said.
