Two juvenile girls who arranged a fight at school last Friday face disorderly conduct charges after they were apprehended by Forest Lake police.

Officers were called to the Forest Lake Skateboard Park adjacent to the city of Forest Lake Planning Department at 2:41 p.m. At the scene, some 75-100 juveniles had gathered to watch the battle.

Police said the two girls were in an argument over a juvenile boy and elected to fight over the dispute.

The two combatants were ages 12 and 13, police said. Both were given juvenile citations.

Youth were seen fleeing the area as police arrived. Police said the fight was reported by adults who helped intervene during the incident.

Burglary report

In another report, police were called to investigate a daytime forced-entry residential burglary in the 10000 block of N. 190th St. last Friday. The homeowner returned at the end of the day to find the home had been gone through.

Items stolen included firearms, a laptop computer, cell phone and a camera.

Forest Lake police said police in Washington County later recovered the stolen cell phone and a .22 caliber pistol that had been taken from the home. The items were recovered in Lake Elmo with a motorcycle that had been stolen in White Bear Lake, police said.
