Two Teens Arrested for Santa Rosa Church Vandalism

Two teenage cousins, aged 14 and 15, were arrested for breaking into Santa Rosa Bible Church in California over the weekend, where they vandalized the property, broke a toilet, and defecated and urinated on the floors. The boys entered through an unsecured door on Saturday, damaging various areas including a new children's play structure. Surveillance footage led to their quick identification, with the 14-year-old arrested locally on Sunday and the 15-year-old from Danville surrendered by his parent on Monday. Both teens were booked into Sonoma County Juvenile Hall on felony charges of burglary and vandalism. Police stressed the importance of respecting community property and urged youth to make positive choices. The church declined to comment, and the boys' names were withheld due to their ages.
