ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — Authorities in Rogers have arrested two 13-year-old boys for a fire at Jones Elementary School and another alleged arson in the area.

Police identified the boys Thursday after viewing a recording from a school surveillance tape.

Fayetteville television station KHOG reports the boys are charged with two felony counts of arson, one count of attempted arson and 10 counts of criminal mischief.

One of the fires at a press box at the Jones Elementary athletic field. The other was at a private home. Police say more charges could be filed.

The teenagers are also accused of attempting to start a vehicle fire and the criminal mischief charges are from instances of spray-painted graffiti.

Police say the damages total more than $15,000.

The boys weren't named because they are juveniles.
