BRATTLEBORO — Three Brattleboro teens, ages 13, 14, and 15, have been arrested by Brattleboro Police on April 2 in connection with several acts of vandalism and arson that occurred during the late evening and early morning hours of March 30-31 in the areas of Brattleboro Union High School, Cotton Mill Hill, and South Main Street.
According to police, vandalism included spray-painted graffiti and broken windows of buildings and vehicles.
In addition, at 11:21 p.m. on March 30, the Brattleboro Fire Department responded to a fire at Vermont Bread Company on Cotton Mill Hill. A delivery truck was engulfed in flames. Firefighters contained the blaze to the truck.
Shortly before 2 a.m. on March 31, the Fire Department responded to Barrows and Fisher Oil Company on Depot Street for a building fire. A storage building was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, and they were able to contain the fire to one building.
The cause of both fires is undetermined at this time, police said, and no injuries were reported.
Vermont State Police and the Vermont State Fire Marshall assisted the Brattleboro Police in the investigation.
Because the investigation is ongoing, police will not release any additional details on the case. The names of the three teens were not released because they are juveniles.
