Warren County Prosecuting Attorney Kelley King issued warrants on Wednesday for the arrest of two suspects involved in vandalism and theft at Warrenton High School.High school students Kyle Reese and Brendan Peters, both 17, of Warrenton, have been charged with second degree burglary, stealing and first degree property damage.A statement issued by the prosecutor indicates they entered the building by forcibly opening a locker door. The crimes were committed between 2 and 3:30 a.m. on the morning of July 12.Upon entering the building Reese and Peters allegedly damaged multiple items beyond repair and vandalized areas of the school.Administrators arrived the next morning and noticed evidence of a break-in. Camera surveillance revealed the suspects were in the building for nearly two hours.Among the items stolen were iPads, digital video cameras and other computer related items. All property stolen has been returned or replaced.Items damaged beyond repair were three video cameras with a combined value of $630, as well as a heavy duty washing machine valued at $699. In addition, the suspects took a set of master keys to the high school valued at $48.Reese and Peters reportedly damaged several other items that will have to be replaced before the start of the school year on Aug. 17.Bond has been set at $7,500 each.As for how the school district responds, a recommendation will be made regarding the future of Reese's and Peter’s education within the school district. A suspension of 10 days or less can be administered by the building principal. Anything beyond that will be administered by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Aaron Jones. “We have been in constant contact with the families of the students and following policy to work through the discipline of the situation,” said Jones.If the parents of the students were to disagree with the discipline handed down, they could file an appeal with the Board of Education.
