Teens accused of lighting fireworks outside homes, fleeing

LAND O' LAKES (FOX 13) -

A pair of 15-year-olds accused of arson have turned themselves in to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.

The teens were caught on surveillance video setting off fireworks on the doorsteps of two different homes in Land O'Lakes, causing about $5,000 worth of damage, the sheriff's office said.

In one instance, the door and the entryway of a home caught fire. Detectives said the teens would set off the fireworks, ring the doorbell and then run away.

We are not naming the teens because they are minors. Both are charged with first-degree arson.
