Five minors were arrested Thursday and placed into protective custody after a series of events that took place earlier in the day, according to the V.I. Police Department.
The boys are all younger than 18 years of age, police said.
Officers reported that witnesses identified the five as having broken into and removed property from Dolphin Market, the Gifft Hill School and Santo’s Laundry, and vandalized a vehicle.
