Police said the students who are minors, had jumped over the parapet wall of the school at night in the first week of August, when the school had been closed for vacation, and had broken into the main office and removed the CCTV cameras prior to vandalizing the premises.
The misdemeanour of the teen hooligans had been captured by another CCTV camera, leading to their arrest by the police.
