“Parents now is the time to have the conversations with your teens about the consequences of their actions,” Johns Creek police said.

This warning came a day after officers arrested two teens they said stepped over the line of fun and damaged someone’s property.

The department shared a photo on Facebook of a white Ford F-150 that appeared to be damaged.

Johns Creek said vandalism and any form of destruction are not acceptable behaviors and can lead to severe consequences.

On Tuesday, Alpharetta police took to Facebook to say that an annual high school prank fest known as “Junior/Senior Wars” took place over the weekend.

According to officials, students wear ski masks and carry Airsoft-type rifles in groups to homes or other locations where targeted students live to ‘attack’ them.

Although no one was injured the department said “But it is not hard to imagine how badly things might have turned out.”

The department is also asking parents to put a stop to this behavior.
