Four teens are facing charges after police say they broke into a vacant Seneca Falls home and caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
According to the Seneca Falls Police Department, the investigation started in mid-December when officers learned a vacant home had been broken into. While inside, the group allegedly damaged much of the interior, leaving behind an estimated $50,000 in losses.
During the last week of January and the first week of February, police arrested four people between the ages of 14 and 18 in connection with the case. Two of the juveniles were charged with felony burglary and felony criminal mischief. Another juvenile and an 18-year-old were each charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass.
All four were issued appearance tickets and will answer the charges in court at a later date.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
