Two school district pickup trucks were stolen Thursday morning from the Lower Kuskokwim School District office parking lot.

Superintendent Dan Walker says that around 5:30 a.m. Thursday, vandals hotwired one truck and rammed it into the side of a school van before speeding away.

Later, they returned the truck, hotwired another one, and drove away again. The second truck was found in a ditch off BIA Road, just past Larson Subdivision. All the vehicles involved were damaged.

Walker says that the vandalism was filmed by surveillance cameras, and the Bethel Police Department is investigating.
