STOCKTON, Calif. — Two 17-year-olds are under arrest on suspicion of attacking a dozen koi that were swimming in ponds in the center of a Stockton community college campus.
Police say the boys used pipes and a knife to beat and stab the Japanese fish, which are worth about $1,000 each. Eleven have died.
Authorities say the teens also pulled the koi out of the water and threw them in nearby bushes. The attack at San Joaquin Delta College was caught on security surveillance video.
Sgt. Geff Greenwood said authorities would seek animal cruelty and felony vandalism charges.
The names of the boys are not being released because they are minors. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.
