BIG SPRING - For the past two weeks, law enforcement in Big Spring have been investigating the criminal mischief and stolen property at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. On Monday, they went to the high school and arrested four young men responsible for the vandalism.

Around 9 a.m. the four teenagers were pulled out of class and arrested at their high school. Their crime? Vandalizing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but some of the items that were stolen during the vandalism act mysteriously reappeared two days later along with an apology note.

"Members of the Vietnam Veterans Committee went to the Memorial to do a little work and found some of the stolen items were stacked next to the maintenance shack at the memorial," Sgt. Tony Everett with the Big Spring Police Department, said.

He says they sent those items hoping to get some fingerprints.

"Those items were sent for processing and weren't able to find any prints or any type of evidence DNA or anything," Everett said.
