CLOUD COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities investigating vandalism at the city park in Concordia have identified two juvenile suspects, according to a media release from police.  

On July 14, police responded to report of damage at the park in the 300 Block of West 11th Street in Concordia that included the swimming pool and pickle ball courts, according to Police Chief Brent Gering. 

The damage prevented the community from using the pool and courts over that weekend and resulted in costly repairs to buildings and equipment, lost wages to seasonal employees and lost revenue to the city. Police offered a $200 reward for information that led to an arrest and prosecution.

Officers have sent requested charges against the identified juveniles to the Cloud County Attorney's office.  The investigation into the damage continues as  officers pursue additional suspects.
