WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Police were working to identify two children seen on surveillance video trying to break windows at a local PK-8 school and then proceeding to steal and eat several ice cream sandwiches.

Police said the boy and girl, possibly related and between the ages of 5 and 10, were shown on surveillance video crawling under a back gate at Willard School on Willard Avenue SE around 1 p.m. Sunday. Police were notified by the school’s principal the next day.

According to a police report, the children were seen playing on the swing sets and then using a metal pole for the gate to try to break windows at the school. The children also threw rocks at the windows but were unsuccessful in breaking them, according to the report.

Before they left, they stole at least 10 to 12 ice cream sandwiches and popsicles from an outside freezer and “proceeded to eat as many as they could before leaving,” the report stated. The two scattered empty wrappers and boxes all over the back of the school.

Police said the two children do not attend Warren City Schools, but investigators were attempting to identify them, believing they may attend a local charter school.

Charges are pending.
