Police suspect gang in school vandalism

Vandalism and a torched SUV at a northwest Georgia high school could be connected to last month's gang-related arrests.

A spray-painted message on the front windows of Rome's Armuchee High School reads, “You can’t catch us all.” Floyd County Police have made 10 gang-related arrests in the past month, all of teens, all associated with a gang that calls itself the Riverside Boys.

Armuchee High School’s Principal James Burris said the paint was easy to clean off, but what worries him is the SUV burnt to a crisp in a back parking lot.

“Of course it’s one of those disturbing things that we are taking seriously, but school’s going on as normal as possible and everyone is as safe as we can make them here,” said Burris.

Burris says vandalism happens every few years at Armuchee. He students have always came foreword with information but so far, no one has.
