Police detained two preteen girls Sunday for breaking into and vandalizing a public kindergarten in the southern town of Kiryat Gat.
Police were alerted to the vandalism Sunday morning after the kindergarten teachers arrived at the preschool to discover it had been broken into and “completely trashed,” according to a police statement.
The girls, ages 9 and 12, were held for questioning after police opened an investigation into the “extreme damage” done to the property, according to police.
Questioned by the Juvenile Crimes Unit, they admitted to the suspicions against them and apologized. They were later released from custody and the case has been transferred to the city’s social services department.
