Teens arrested for uploaded video

It was a homemade video allegedly showing two teenagers firebombing an old airplane hangar in the Novato, Calif., area. They had uploaded the video to their MySpace.com pages, police saw it, and the boys were arrested "on charges of possessing destructive devices," the Associated Press reports. "Police officers stationed at each middle and high school in Novato regularly surf the MySpace site for signs that local teenagers may be involved in criminal activity such as drug or alcohol use, sexual assault or vandalism," the AP added. Police said the damage to the building, part of an Air Force base that was closed in 1976, was "minimal." The two boys have since been released and their case "referred to the Marin County District Attorney for possible prosecution."
