Over the weekend, Salina Police responded to nine reports of damage to property, and thanks to information provided by a witness, have arrested two teenage boys.
Total damage in the incidents that involved five vehicles and four residences was estimated at more than $7,500, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The incidents occurred in south-central and southeast Salina and involved rocks being thrown at vehicles and residences, he said.
A witness who observed one of the incidents was able to provide to police information about the vehicle the alleged suspects were driving, Forrester said. That led police to arrest the two teens -- a 15-year-old Assaria boy and a 16-year-old Salina boy -- on suspicion of damage to property, he said.
Forrester said police could find no connection between the boys and the recent rash of BB gun damage to property incidents, which at last count was up to 52.
