The Roanoke Rapids Police Department announced Thursday that five people are charged after Tuesday’s vandalism at Roanoke Rapids High School.
Four 18-year-olds and a 20-year-old were charged in what officials called a senior prank that “went too far.” Administrators woke up to doors glued shut, trees full of toilet paper, and floors covered with vegetable oil.

The biggest issues were the students poured vegetable oil all over the 100-year-old hardwood floors and they super glued the door locks. Students also spray-painted windows at the high school.
More than 100 cameras scattered across the school caught the vandals in action.
