The Oviedo Police Department has identified two juveniles suspected in multiple vehicle break-ins at the Oviedo Mall.
Three buses belonging to O2B kids, a pre-school located in the mall, were broken into between April 13-15, according to the Oviedo Police Department.
Police said one bus was broken into and vandalized on the night of April 14 or the early morning of April 15, with damage amounting to about $15,000.
Two more buses were then broken into and vandalized on the night of April 15.
This comes after two other break-ins at the mall that resulted in over $30,000 losses and chaotic screenings of the Minecraft movie that saw guests shouting and throwing candy and popcorn, according to the mall’s social media accounts.
The mall initially considered introducing a chaperone policy for guests under 18 to discourage this behavior, but they have instead opted to re-introduce their free “Mall Rat Program” which is aimed at teens ages 13-17 and offers discounts, events and other perks for those who decide to join.
