NORTH ATTLEBORO - The two young teens arrested last summer in connection with a vandalism spree that included trashing the middle school have been placed on probation and ordered to pay restitution, sources say.

The boys, who were 13 and 14 last August when the vandalism occurred, were ordered to pay $1,700 in restitution for damage not covered by the town's insurance and must perform 320 hours of community service, sources told The Sun Chronicle.

The boys, who had no prior arrest record, were found delinquent Tuesday in Attleboro Juvenile Court and were placed on probation until they turn 17, the sources said.

Juvenile court proceedings are not public and the boys' names were not released by authorities because of their ages.

Under the terms of probation, the boys also were ordered to continue psychological counseling and were placed on curfews. And, the judge ordered them to continue their education at schools other than North Attleboro public schools. In addition, the town's insurance company has filed civil lawsuits against the parents of the two boys. The most the insurance company can recoup in damages is $5,000 each, sources said.

Last August, police compared the boys to "two little tornadoes" when they discovered cars that had been broken into, tombstones toppled and the middle school in a shambles.

The vandals knocked over trash barrels and sprayed a fire extinguisher around the school, splattered paint, glue and coffee grounds over carpeting and equipment and emptied desk drawers onto the floor.

Damage to the school totaled almost $80,000. The town was responsible for a $15,000 deductible, while insurance covered the remaining $63,700 in costs for repairs.

In addition to vandalizing the school, the teenagers broke into a storage shed at Mason Field and toppled two tombstones at St. Mary's Cemetery off Towne Street, police said.

They also tossed grave ornaments, flowers and flags from four other graves at the cemetery and vandalized a maintenance truck at Mount Hope Cemetery, police said.

A lawyer involved in the case, Louis Xifaras of Mansfield, declined to comment other than to say, "The court was fair, but extremely stringent."

"In light of their conduct, they've tried to do things to straighten out their lives and make amends," Xifaras said.

School Superintendent Rick Smith said he couldn't comment on the specific court disposition.

"I've been advised the case has concluded and the consequences are serious and will linger for these two young boys," Smith said. "I hope these two boys can learn from this and get on with their lives in a positive and productive fashion."
