Juvenile vandals may not face prosecution
Two youths aged 11 and 12 are suspected of damaging several River's Edge houses under construction, with losses exceeding $2,000. Despite witnesses and matching bike tire tracks, prosecutors expect no charges due to the boys’ ages. Contractors call for restitution and consider civil action.
