LAS CRUCES, New Mexico – A week after Las Cruces High School was ravaged by vandals, police asked for help locating those responsible and offered a $ 1,000 reward to identify them.

Las Cruces / Dona Ana County Crime Stoppers released a surveillance video showing up to ten people believed to be teenagers or young adults entering the school grounds. They were dressed all in black when they jumped the fence and ran onto campus.

According to police, this happened in two waves – one at 1:30 a.m. and another at 2:30 a.m. last Thursday.

The vandals sprayed various parts of the school, some of which contained racially motivated phrases. They also used eggs and mustard to destroy the school, with damage estimated at $ 2,000 to $ 4,000.

Police said anyone with tips can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
