GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Local officials were called to Martin Elementary twice over the weekend for the report of criminal damage to property.
Green Bay Police Captain Kevin Warych says they were called out to the school located at 626 Pinehurst Ave., once on Saturday and once on Sunday.
“In the investigation we learned that two juveniles, one was 9-year-old and one was 7-years-old, broke into the school and damaged a lot of doors, windows and took small things from the school.”
Around $6,000 dollars’ worth of damage was done to the school.
“The items taken were so trivial and those items were later located in the investigation, which led investigators to believe that those two juveniles were responsible for the damage at the elementary school,” said Warych.
A police K-9 was used to help secure the building and search for suspects.
The juveniles were turned back over to their parents.
Warych says this is a reminder to parents to know where your kids are at all times, especially during the summer months when they are out of school.
