Lubbock Teens Caught On Camera In Costly Vandalism Spree

So here we go again-welcome to summer in Lubbock.

I guess the official activity in Lubbock for kids is "tearing stuff up". We've learned this lesson so we have cameras at the ready. We have captured two (looks to be) teens tearing stuff up at Nightmare and stealing two lawnmowers. Additional stuff was missing as well. They also tagged up the property.  It's an annual ritual we seem to go through at Nightmare, and we're not too happy about it. In fact, I was just going to post a couple videos on my personal site and walk away, but...

Things got worse. They made their way up to the Pavillion at the Lone Star Amphitheater, and broke all the windows. They also broke into a tiny home up there and trashed the place. They also either pushed or drove a truck and wrecked it as well.

Damages to the Lone Star Amphitheater are in excess of $10,000, and damages at Nightmare are probably about a $2000. This is some serious stuff and some serious jail time.

So how do we know these crimes are linked? Apparently, these kids didn't see Home Alone, where the Wet Bandits left the same clues at all the crime scenes, because these guys put the same tags at Nightmare and the Lone Star Events Center.

I'm sorry to the bleeding hearts who say, "It's just kids". The parents need to snatch these kids up and get them on the right path pronto. Besides, this one is not my choice and not my call. The damage to the Lone Star Events Center was too extensive to ignore.

I'd encourage everyone to look at the photos and watch the videos. These kids could get themselves seriously hurt. The faces aren't really clear, but someone will know them by their haircuts, shirts, or the fact that they just offloaded a couple of barely working lawnmowers.

Police reports are being filed by all injured parties.
