Four juveniles have been questioned in a vandalism at VerBeck YMCA on Oak Ridge Road Monday.
A pavilion and swimming pool were damaged, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.
After receiving a call to the 1884 Oak Ridge Road facility at 3:52 p.m., deputies found holes in walls, a discharged fire extinguisher, spray-painted walls and drums of chlorine that had been thrown into the pool, he said.
The total cost has not been tallied, but “it appears to be several thousand in damages,” said Pace.
The juveniles ages 10 to 16 had not been charged this morning, and another child was to be interviewed today, he said.
The case will be turned over to Youth Court following the conclusion of the investigation, Pace said.
