HAMSTER TORTURE: TEENS KILL BELOVED SCHOOL PET

KILLED

A VICIOUS group of kids broke into school and tortured a beloved school hamster to death. A group of five boys between the ages of 11 and 14 left a terrible trail of destruction behind them as they vandalized classrooms at the Northwest Prep School in Santa Rosa, CA.   
They turned over and refrigerator, broke windows, tore up a vegetable garden and tagged the walls with graffiti before turning on the helpless beast. Sgt. Mike Raasch would only say, "It was bad. They did three different cruel things to it."
A woman playing volleyball at the school called 911 and helped identify some of the suspects, authorities say.
The two 11-year-old boys were reportedly arrested on suspicion of felony vandalism and released to their mothers while the 13-year-olds and a
14-year-old boy were arrested for burglary, vandalism and booked into juvenile hall.
The 13-year-old boys were also arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty, Raasch said.
None of them attend the school which serves 143 students grades 7-12.
