10:43 a.m. – A manager of the CVS store on South County Trail told police two teenage boys sprayed silly string in the store, on the store’s exterior and on the car of one of the employees. He said the two boys had first come into the store to buy cigarettes. They were turned down because they didn’t have proper identification and left, but soon returned to buy blue silly string. Afterward, employees noticed blue silly string had been sprayed in the toy aisle where the silly string is kept. Outside, they found more blue silly string, on an exterior wall and on the car. Security video showed the boys in the act. The manager said he didn’t want the boys charged if they were located, but he did want a no-trespass order issued against them.
