On the afternoon of Independence Day, Boston Police arrested a 16-year-old male for allegedly defacing a school with graffiti in Roxbury's Brookford Street area. According to the Boston Police Department, the incident occurred around 12:56 PM, after they received a report of vandalism at the school's location.
Matching the described suspects, two males were found by officers inside the school's play area, which was fenced in. They noticed fresh spray paint on a wall and staircase. After searching one of the teenagers, officers discovered a spray paint can in his backpack. While responding to a vandalism report, the second male was only summoned for trespassing, as reported by the BPD.
The young man in question now faces multiple charges. He was arrested and is being charged as a delinquent for Damage to Property by Graffiti, Destruction to Schoolhouse, and Trespass, as detailed by the report from Boston Police. The juvenile is expected to face these charges in an arraignment at the Roxbury District Court.
