Police: Teens Admit To Dangerous Zip Tie Prank

FRAMINGHAM (AP) ― Police in Framingham say two boys, ages 13 and 14, have admitted to stringing plastic zip ties across a road last month.
 
Police warned at the time that the ties could kill or seriously injure a passing bicyclist or motorcyclist.

Police Lt. Paul Shastany says the boys turned themselves in earlier this month, telling investigators they had not intended to hurt anyone.

The thick plastic ties lock at the end and are used to bind secure items.

They were found strung across Grove Street about four to five feet above the ground on April 21, and again the following day.

The boys are expected to face juvenile charges of attempted assault and battery, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace.
