BOSTON -- Vandals set fire to the football field at a local high school, doing some serious damage, police said.
It's not the grass at Arlington High School that got torched, but highly flammable artificial turf was damaged.
Authorities believe young people are responsible for the damage, $50,000 worth. Police are still searching for suspects, who left behind beer cans and cigarettes.
"We do have some video footage of from an adjacent business that our investigators are reviewing, and if it comes to it, there's a possibility we may go the route of analyzing some DNA evidence," said Capt. John Serson, of the Arlington Police Dept.
The school plans to have the field repaired before the football season starts.
The field will be closed until further notice. It was installed two years ago.
