INITIAL REPORT:
Vandalia police are investigating after two teenage, adult men were arrested following a break-in at Vandalia-Butler High School Thursday morning.
Officers responded to the high school at 600 South Dixie Drive early Thursday morning after receiving an alarm from the school.
Vandalia police Sgt. Tom Vallery said when officers first responded to the school, one suspect was spotted running from the building, and was taken into custody after a short foot chase.
A short time later, a second suspect was located in a parked car nearby and was also taken into custody.
Police said both suspects are teenagers, between 18 and 19 years old.
Officers on the scene initially told our crew the men were doing parkour, a type of free-running exercise involving running, jumping, and climbing.
Vallery updated the report and said it could not be confirmed if parkour was the intention of the suspects. The only apparent items that were taken were drinks, and there was no apparent damage to anything inside the building.
Police were working to determine how the men entered the high school, and said there was no apparent forced entry to the school.
Investigators are reviewing security camera footage in the school that is believed to have captured the incident.
Police will present charges of breaking and entering for approval to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office
