PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - A joint task force has been formed to investigate three recent criminal incidents in Prescott Valley.
The first incident happened sometime between March 29-31 when someone broke into Bradshaw Mountain High School and caused $60,000 worth of damage, police said.
The second incident happened on April 1, when a massive fire destroyed an apartment complex under construction. Residents in nearby apartments were evacuated and roads were closed, with flames reportedly reaching 150 feet high. No one was hurt, but police said the fire caused an estimated $60 million worth of damage.
The most recent incident happened on Thursday at Bradshaw Mountain High School. Police say officers responded to the school after an alarm went off. When officers got to the scene, they found that the school had been broken into, and several rooms were damaged.
