Sheriff: 2 girls cause $350,000 in damage at foam and insulation company in Ormond Beach
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - Two girls, ages 12 and 13, are facing burglary charges after deputies said they created "their own disaster" during Tropical Storm Nicole by vandalizing the Imperial Foam & Insulation company in Ormond Beach on Thursday, causing $350,000 in damage.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office says the damage included slashed bags of raw polystyrene material, fork lifts moved and crashed into products, smashed property and spray-paint graffiti.
"Two of the girls spray-painted their names onto foam blocks. An employee entered the warehouse, overheard the spraying and then saw the girls running from the building," the sheriff's office said.
