Midtown Hills Precinct detectives have charged two teens, ages 13 and 14, with burglary and vandalism in excess of $10,000 for spray painting graffiti on the exterior of Valor College Prep charter school, 4527 Nolensville Pike, on Sunday, May 29, and then breaking into and damaging the interior of the school (including computer monitors and light fixtures) on May 30.
A staff member discovered the graffiti and interior damage when reporting for work on Tuesday. Surveillance footage showed four teens entering the school through a window after cutting a screen on Memorial Day evening.
Detectives were working to identify the vandals/burglars when they were notified that school staff on Wednesday afternoon spotted two juveniles who they recognized from the surveillance footage in the neighborhood of the school. Staff followed the teens to a home, spoke with the mother of one of the teens, and then contacted detectives. A camera stolen from the school as well as various office supplies were recovered during the arrests. The two teens attended Antioch Middle School, not Valor College Prep. The investigation continues to identify and charge the other two persons involved.
