Reward offered to find school vandals

        LEBANON — Police and Lebanon school district officials hope a $1,000 reward will lead them to whoever damaged about a dozen heating units on the roof of Lebanon High School.

        The vandalism occurred between 3 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Tuesday, Lebanon police Sgt. Rick Bens said. The reward is being offered for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.

        The vandals cut wires on the units and damaged circuit boards. The damage did not affect classes.

        The district did not have a damage estimate late Wednesday, spokeswoman Carole Dorn said, but she described it as “quite extensive.”

        Police have no suspects or leads in the case, Sgt. Bens said. Some evidence collected at the scene is being analyzed at a crime lab, but he could not describe what was found.

        The vandals climbed equipment to reach the roof, Sgt. Bens said.

        “They just walked over the roof from one unit to the next,” he said.

        No alarm was tripped because the vandals remained outside the building, he said.

        The vandals could face felony charges because they damaged a public building, Sgt. Bens said.

        At the school, students were allowed to wear coats and extra clothing in the building, Ms. Dorn said. Three of the damaged units were back in operation Wednesday and repairs are being made to the others, Ms. Dorn said.

        Anyone with information on the vandalism should contact the Lebanon Police Department at 932-2010.
