Police ask for your help to identify two suspects after a school is vandalized and its statue is destroyed.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—A school was vandalized and a statue was destroyed, and police asked for your help to identify two suspects.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
Sometime after 3 a.m. Sunday, July 5, the two teens broke several glass doors and toppled a statue at St. Francis DeSales High School on Karl Road, according to Columbus police.
The statue is that of the North Side school’s namesake, St. Francis.
Investigators said the suspects entered the school building from the back and were driving a dark-colored Lexus manufactured between the years of 1996 and 2000.
“Our patron saint is known as being the “gentleman saint,” and what they did goes against the grain of who we are,” said Principal Dan Garrick.
Damage was estimated at more than $17,000.
Anyone with information on the vandalism was encouraged to call CPD at 614-645-2073.

Im sorry, but a couple of “weenies” wouldn’t break into a school and cause $17000 worth of damage. They had to of entered he main building bbecause that statue and those windows are not worth that much money.
He is a sissy lol. he was scared to swing. what a couple of weenies.
If this happened on the 5th, why are we just now finding out about it? It is obvious that they are just being destuctive. Why else would they break the window from the inside?
The kid in the white shirt throws like a big sissy.
Terrible, what is happening to morals and respect of property and community? :0(
