Officers were seen gathered around new fencing put around the building where the suspects possibly broke in.

This incident comes days after the city put up the metal fencing to help keep more taggers from trespassing onto the abandoned property.

A juvenile and an adult were taken into custody shortly after 8 a.m. An officer on the scene said they will likely be booked, cited and released.
