QULIN, Mo. -- Authorities believe a group of teenagers used spray paint and water-based chalk to deface vehicles, homes and municipal buildings in Qulin, a small town in Butler County.

The property damage was first reported June 19 and continued through Monday, when Glenda McCameron reported profanity had been spray painted on her D Street home.

Butler County investigator Charles Phelps said a couple of juveniles "admitted to being involved in several different property damages."

Phelps said officers have the names of six or seven other teens, who will be contacted about their alleged involvement in the property damage.

"The majority of the subjects are juveniles; possibly two are adults," Phelps said. The ages, he said, range from 13 to 18 and include both males and females, all from the Qulin area.
