SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities in Sioux Falls say two students vandalized a local high school early Wednesday morning, leading officials to delay classes and postpone an Advanced Placement exam.

Addison Park and Alex Engel have both been charged with third-degree burglary and first-degree intentional damage to property. They are both 18 years old.

Officials say the two broke into Lincoln High School around midnight. They allegedly damaged a lunch room table, a copy machine and a cash register.

Superintendent Pam Homan says she learned early Wednesday that two people had entered the building and spread oils and spices through the cafeteria area and hallways.

Surveillance cameras caught the vandals on camera and Lincoln High School staff members say they recognized the teenagers.

Park is also charged with petty theft for stealing some backpacks.
