HAHTWICK —■TVvo 14-year olds were arrested and charged with juvenile
delinquency for allegedly causing damage to a vehicle and criminal tampering
last August. The arrests and charges .grew out of a complaint filed by two
Cherry Valley contractors, on August 14 while they were building a house on
Route 71. According to the Otsego County Sheriff’s Department, rocks and
gravel were found in the gas kid oil tanks of the contractors’machinery. The
repair hill for damagq to a tractor was more than $500. Dirt and debris in the
hydraulics of a front loader and sand and dirt in the oil of a bulldozer cost an
additional $ 1,000 plus fo remedy.
