Two Truckee teenagers were arrested Oct. 12 on felony vandalism charges.

During the last several months the Truckee Police Department has received multiple reports of graffiti on the walls of numerous businesses along the Highway 89 south of Deerfield Drive, the new mouse hole pedestrian crossing as well as inside Truckee High School. The same 15- and 16-year-old suspects are also accused of spray painting graffiti on the new Trout Creek Hiking Trail and multiple businesses along the Pioneer Trail business district.

The vandalism has caused thousands of dollars in damage.

Officers were also able to identify additional unreported locations the suspects vandalized. A third, lesser involved 15 year old suspect was charged with one count of misdemeanor vandalism tagging.
