UNION, S.C. (AP) -- Two teens have been arrested and accused of puncturing tires on about a dozen South Carolina school buses last week.

Multiple media outlets reported the teens have been arrested by Union police and charged with malicious damage to moveable property.

Police say someone punctured nearly two dozen tires on the buses on Sept. 8 in the Union County High School bus parking lot.

Damage was estimated at about $5,400.

The vandalism prompted delays in bus routes on Sept. 9 while the tires were replaced.

Police say no further arrests are expected.
