The Port Orange Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division has identified four male juvenile subjects in the vandalism that occurred at Spruce Creek Elementary School in Port Orange, during the early morning hours on Sunday, February 5. The vandals targeted several portable classrooms, two storage sheds and attempted to gain entry to the school’s main building by smashing windows.

The extensive damage caused by the subjects is estimated at more than $30,000.

According to an update from the Police Department, the subjects are two 14-year-olds, a 15-year-old, and a 16-year-old. The identification of the suspects came after a collaborative effort between the hard work of Port Orange Detectives and help from the public.
