CLAYTON – The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) is seeking assistance in identifying three suspects.
On Saturday, August 31st around 3:09pm, three males went to American Leadership Academy, located at 3770 US Highway 70 Business West, Clayton.
After playing basketball for approximately 45 minutes, the suspects allegedly broke into five school buses on campus and discharged fire extinguishers inside four of the buses.
The JCSO said the suspects then entered the media building at the football field through a window, taking numerous items from inside.
