Grange Middle School Break In

By Bay City News Service

Two juveniles were arrested Sunday night after being seen walking
away from a school that had silent alarms activated, Fairfield police said.
          Officers responded to a silent alarm call at Grange Middle School
at 9:50 p.m. As the three officers arrived at the scene, a second alarm was
activated, police said.
          Officers heard glass shatter as they approached the building,
located at 1975 Blossom Ave., and spotted two suspects walking away from the
school and a pursuit ensued, police said.
          Officers chased the suspects south on Blossom Avenue before going
over a fence onto Dustin Court. Additional responding officers cut off the
suspects and were able to take them into custody.
          During the chase, one of the suspects tossed an item, later
recovered and identified as a loaded BB handgun, police said.
          The suspects were identified as a 17-year-old boy and a
16-year-old boy, both from Fairfield, and were booked into Solano County
Juvenile Hall on suspicion of burglary, vandalism, and resisting arrest,
police said.
          The 16-year-old suspect was on active probation and also booked
for probation violation.
          An investigation of the break-in revealed four classrooms had
shattered windows. Stolen property from a classroom was also recovered after
being discarded by the suspects during the foot chase.
