When the suspects — all dressed in black clothing — noticed the officers, they allegedly attempted to flee but were arrested after a foot pursuit.

Officers searched the school and found “property damaged and vandalized with hate-motivated graffiti.”

A 21-year-old man and two 16-year-old males have each been charged with break-and-enter with intent to commit mischief.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Windsor Police Service at 519-255-6700, ext. 4000 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at catchcrooks.com.
