KVIA (Lac Cruces, New Mexico) 30 September 06 Two teens arrested in reptile case

Las Cruces, N.M.: Two teenagers accused in a break-in at the Reptile Rescue have been arrested by the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities say a tip led them to John Vasquez and Felix Montoya.

A sheriff's investigator says the 17-year-olds admitted to the crimes.

Vasquez and Montoya are being held at the county's juvenile jail on charges of residential burglary, larceny, criminal damage to property, disposing of stolen property and conspiracy.

The director of Reptile Rescue came home earlier this month to find several of his reptile aquariums had been thrown onto the ground and broken.

Five snakes had been stabbed, and several were missing. Several lizards also were dead and a few of them were missing.
