Five teenagers are facing charges they stole and then destroyed a nativity scene from a church in Bedford County.

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said the five were arrested Tuesday after the 12-piece Christmas scene was reported missing over the weekend from Shiloh United Methodist Church in Forest.

The sheriff's office released a photo of the teens that showed them posing with the figures.

The set had an estimated worth of $2,000 to $2,500.

John Killgo, Scott Cooley, and Matthew Barringer and two juveniles face charges of grand larceny, trespass and property damage.
