Church Vandalism in South Arkansas

Drew County investigators have arrested three teens ages 15 to 16 for vandalizing Bethel Temple Church in Jerome on Saturday.

Investigators say that they boys broke the church windows and pictures and threw mud and beer bottles at it.

Investigators say the boys are also responsible for vandalizing another church and church property in Lake Village today.

Nothing was stolen from the churches, but the damage done is estimated to be between 2 and 3 thousand dollars.

All three boys have been taken to the juvenile detention center in Batesville and will have a court appearance this week.
