A group of juveniles has confessed to 10 separate acts of vandalism over the course two nights in Highland, according to police.

According to Highland police, several juveniles broke out the windows of 12 different vehicles throughout the evenings of Tuesday, Dec. 18, and Thursday, Dec. 20. The individuals broke out the windows of the cars but took nothing from them.

The group’s spree began at the Park & Ride near Highway 40 where several cars were damaged. Highland Police Chief Chris Conrad said the juveniles then headed toward town hitting locations randomly both north and south of the railroad tracks that run through the city.

The cases are being referred to the Madison County States Attorney’s office.
