Two River Ridge High School juniors were arrested Tuesday in connection with a March 14 burglary of the school.
Cameron Tortarelli and Anthony Dickens, both 17, are charged with armed burglary, grand theft, trespassing on school property and criminal mischief. Dickens also is charged with throwing a missile into a public building.
A third boy, 17, had not been arrested as of today.
A surveillance video showed the boys, faces covered by bandannas, smashing a glass door and going inside the school administration building at about 2 a.m. March 14. Tortarelli can be seen in the video holding what appears to be a semi-automatic weapon.
River Ridge High is at 11646 Town Center Road.
The boys went into several offices and rummaged through desks, sheriff's office reports state. They stole two laptop computers, two digital cameras, three handheld radios, one sheriff's office jacket, three cell phones, 25 packs of cigarettes, 50 lighters, six knives, a set of brass knuckles, 10 marijuana test kits and $46 in cash.
The stolen property is valued at more than $5,000. Damage to the school is estimated at $1,080. Several students reported Tortarelli, Dickens and the third boy after talking to them and seeing the stolen property, according to the reports.
Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll said investigators have recovered all of the stolen items except for the sheriff's office jacket, one laptop and the three handheld radios.
