Two teenage girls are facing felony charges after investigators found stolen property in their possession.

PALM COAST, Fla. — Two Matanzas High School students were arrested Wednesday and are facing felony charges for breaking into parked cars on campus, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

The girls, aged 14 and 15, who First Coast News is not identifying due to their age, are accused of intentionally skipping their first periods of school to break into vehicles parked behind Matanzas High School.

The sheriff’s office said the teens were caught with several stolen items in their possession, and one victim has been identified.

Investigators said a witness saw something “suspicious” and reported it to the school administration.

The teens face charges of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, credit card larceny, and second-degree petit theft from a motor vehicle. One of the teens is also charged with unauthorized use of a credit card to obtain goods.

Both the teens were taken to Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility for processing and were directed by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice to release both of them to their parents.

Both Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly and Flagler County Schools Superintendent LaShakia Moore said there is zero tolerance for crimes on school campus.

“We encourage all of our students, faculty and staff to follow the ‘See Something, Say Something’ practice,” said Moore. “There is no tolerance for anything that interferes with safe learning environments, and we are committed to providing for our students.”

“Parents need to be the sheriffs in their homes and teach their kids that skipping class to commit auto burglaries is illegal and is not what school is for,” said Staly. “These students are now facing felonies. Parents, talk to your children about the consequences of their actions, or we will when we arrest them.”
