Following a break-in that resulted in more than $100,000 worth of damage to the Homewood Acres fire station, an arrest has been made, reports patch.com. However, details are scarce.
Video cameras caught the suspects as they entered the facility through a window and proceeded to move through the building, wrecking every room in the station, FA reported at the time. Firefighters said the only thing stolen was approximately $160 in petty cash and some snacks.
The department says insurance will cover most of the damage, and a GoFundMe page has been set up—and raised $13,844 as of this post.
“On the morning of 5-28-22, in broad daylight, 4 juveniles broke into the Homewood Acres Volunteer Fire Department and vandalized our Station,” the GoFundMe page says. “The children, aged 9-14, caused well over $100,000 worth of damage. 11 windows were broken out, and the building completely ransacked. If it could be broken, they broke it. We have insurance that will cover the replacement of most things but need odds and ends covered. We still need to maintain service to our residents while we are recovering. Any help would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way to help our community. Thank you!!!”
