East Orange: School vandals turn themselves in

salemA pair of youths who allegedly broke into Salem Lutheran School here in Orange and left anarchist symbols on lockers turned themselves in and agreed to pay for the damage, police said today.

Police Sgt. Dan Adams said the youths were not part of the 500-member, kindergarten-through-eighth-grade student body of the private Christian school.

Adams said the juveniles attempted — but failed — to break into one of the classrooms on Oct. 6.  Instead, the pair used a black marker to leave a row of anarchist symbols on about eight lockers, causing roughly $200 worth of damage.

Dan Ventura, executive director at Salem Lutheran, said the vandalism appeared to have been a random act.

Adams said the parents of one of the alleged vandals contacted the school about a week after the break-in. Both youths turned themselves in.

“Restitution was agreed upon and the case was closed,” Adams said.
