Santa Paula police arrested three teenagers suspected of being vandals Tuesday night, authorities said.

Officers detained three Santa Paula youths about 8 p.m. after they found them spray painting a wall in an alley off the 400 block of Ojai Road, said Lt. Mike Saviers of the Santa Paula Police Department.

Juan Magana, 19, was booked into the Ventura County Jail. He faces felony conspiracy and vandalism charges. The two other boys, ages 15 and 17, were booked into juvenile hall. They also face conspiracy and vandalism charges.

Now, how about making them -- under supervision-- go around town and paint out the rest of the graffitt in town, while wearing bright colored jump suits? Or would that be a violation some right? Anyway, I'm glad they got caught... again, no pic posted and I think if your name's printed, a pic should be too, so we know who to watch out for...

Take em' to the middle of town, strip em' naked and let town folk take turns spray painting em!

If thier parents own homes - let town folk paint their houses - for free!

Heck - make it a fund raiser.

Brian! Please........two wrongs do not make a right. AND to even suggest of giving out thier parents address is insane. Do you really think all parents are responsible and know thier kid is out there doing this sort of thing. The parents are not always to blame..... could it be peer pressure here from the adult they were hanging out with? They will be dealth with the legal way through the system.........

true, two wrongs don't make a right...but I bet it would make taggers think twice about defacing other people's property!
