Barrington Police charged the same three teenagers twice in two separate incidents last week. 

The first set of charges stemmed from vandalism in town and the second set was related to disorderly conduct. 

On Tuesday, April 15, a West Street business owner called police to report graffiti scrawled on a section of sidewalk outside the shop. Police said it appeared that someone used different color markers to write racist, vulgar, anti-semitic and generally offensive things all over the cement sidewalk. 

Police reviewed video footage from a nearby security camera and identified the suspects: a 13-year-old Barrington girl and two of her cousins, a 14-year-old East Providence boy and a 15-year-old East Providence boy. 

Police charged all three with single counts of vandalism; they said the incident occurred at about 12:10 a.m. that day.

Police said the girl and her 14-year-old cousin are the same two teenagers who were spotted at the Wood’s Pond gazebo at about 2:20 a.m. on Thursday, April 10. Police said the teens had been wearing clown face-paint and were drawing things all over their arms during that incident. Police also said the teens were disrespectful and very uncooperative. 

The police had a third run-in with the same juveniles on Thursday, April 17. Police said they received a phone call at about 4:21 a.m. for a report of three juveniles standing in the middle of Anoka Avenue yelling loudly. The caller also reported that the teens took a sign from one of the yards. 

Police officers responded and located the three juveniles — the same three teens who were charged with vandalism two days earlier. 

Police later charged each of the teens with disorderly conduct. Police also contacted DCYF. 

Police said their cases will be referred to Rhode Island Family Court.
