Three juveniles were arrested and charged with criminal mischief in connection with a small fire that was set at the Chatterton Elementary School playground, on Merrick Avenue in central Merrick, sometime between Wednesday evening, Aug. 20, and Thursday morning, Aug. 21, according to Nassau County Police.
Authorities declined to offer further information about the suspects or the incident because the three charged were all minors.
The Merrick Fire Department responded and quickly extinguished the fire, according to Ron Luparello, the department's public information officer.
