3 Newfoundland and Labrador teens charged in $500K vandalism rampage

Edited by Iain Mackenzie

Police in St. John's have charged three teens over vandalism to a bus fleet that cause more than $500,000 in damage.

On the morning of Nov. 23, the owner of City Wide, a coach and taxi company, arrived at the depot yard in the east end of the city to find 18 school buses with more than 100 smashed windows and the smoking and charred remains of two motor coaches.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary charged two of the teens from St. John's, a girl, 14, and a boy, 17, with arson and mischief.
