Sheriff Nabs Riverview Teen Mischief Makers

RIVERVIEW, FL – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested the two juveniles who have been vandalizing cars in Riverview subdivisions.

Deputies arrested a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges (see related story).

Between April 14 and 15, the juveniles entered an unlocked vehicle in the Rivercrest subdivision and placed a running water hose inside the car, flooding it with water and causing about $2,000 in damage.

Deputies believe the same two teens entered another car in the Moss Landing subdivision between April 20 and 21. They dumped bags of soil inside the car and placed a running hose in the window. This caused about $1,000 in damage.

During the same time frame, they broke into another unlocked car in Moss Landing and poured motor oil on the interior of the car, causing about $1,000 in damage.

The teens are also accused of damaging a number of car tires in those Riverview neighborhoods.
