Four teenagers were charged following a break-in at a Long Island elementary school.
The Suffolk County Police Department announced the arrests of 19-year-old Salvatore Davis, of Mastic Beach, along with an unnamed 16-year-old boy and 17-year-old boy, who are both residents of Shirley, on Thursday, Nov. 17.
They all were charged by Hate Crimes Unit detectives with third-degree burglary, SCPD said.
SCPD said on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 19-year-old Aydan Dellysse-Fox, of Shirley, was also arrested for the burglary.
The arrests stem from an incident at Hobart S. Elementary School on Monday, Sept. 26.
Police said the teens entered the school and stole food and drew racist graffiti on cabinets and a classroom whiteboard.
“One of the most valuable tools the Suffolk County Police Department utilizes is its outreach to the community through Crime Stoppers,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said. “Following the issuance of a Crime Stoppers Alert on this case, an arrest was made within days due to helpful information called into the anonymous hotline. In addition to thanking residents for their support in this case, I commend the detectives of the Hate Crimes Unit for their diligence on this burglary.”
