GOUVERNEUR — Two Gouverneur youths were arrested on burglary, arson, criminal mischief and animal cruelty charges stemming from a burglary investigation by state police.
The suspect entered 166 Smith Rd. and caused damage inside, officers said. The property includes a vacant farmhouse and a cattle barn used to house young livestock.
Police said a young bull calf suffered severe head injuries and had to be euthanized. Damage was done to an antique John Deere 50 tractor, a Case 1840 skid steer, light fixtures, and windows, troopers said.
A 2000 Chevrolet 2500 that was parked in the field was damaged as well. The teens smashed the windshield, side windows, rear windows and side view mirrors. There was also extensive damage to a 1990 Sunline tow-behind camper that was in the pasture.
Several bales of hay were tipped over and one bale was smoldering because it had been set on fire, officers said.
The complaint was first reported to state police Sept. 15.
