GARLAND — Two teenagers are in trouble Monday, accused of breaking into Bear River Middle School.
And it was one of the teen's moms who turned them in.
She saw the surveillance video on KSL on Friday and recognized her son immediately.
The boys didn't get away with much: some candy and a toy, according to investigators.
But that mom took both of the young people into the police station first thing Monday morning.
The two teens broke into the middle school earlier in the week, according to police Chief Chad Soffe. The two smashed through a skylight using a golf club and lowered themselves through the roof.
The first boy who entered the building dropped in, got a ladder and helped the other one down. They entered the building with T-shirts over their faces in hopes of fooling the surveillance cameras in the building.
The boys could be seen in the surveillance video rifling through classrooms for about an hour before walking out the front door.
Police have not divulged what kind of trouble the boys are in.
