Los Lunas Police Release Photos, Seek Tips After High School Vandalism

Significant vandalism at Los Lunas High School left classrooms and equipment damaged, prompting the Los Lunas Police Department to release surveillance images and descriptions as it seeks public tips. The incident has raised concerns among parents, staff, and residents about campus security and the cost of repairs.

Police responded after reports of graffiti and property damage inside the high school. Investigators found spray-painted markings on tables, computers, walls and doors, and discovered a teacher’s computer and desk had been damaged. Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators showed two suspects entering the classroom where the vandalism occurred, and the department has provided photos and clothing descriptions to the public as part of the inquiry.

The vandalism occurred on Jan. 26, 2026, and officers say the acts caused notable damage to school property. The Los Lunas Police Department is urging anyone with information to call the department with tips. Residents who prefer to remain anonymous can submit information through the StopIt app using the access code loslunaspd. Authorities say they are pursuing leads but have not announced arrests.

Local impact extends beyond the immediate mess. School staff must assess and repair damaged technology and furnishings, which can strain maintenance budgets already under pressure across many districts. Classroom time may be disrupted while repairs are made and investigations proceed, and parents and teachers have voiced concern about student safety and respect for school property. For taxpayers in Valencia County, unexpected repair bills can mean deferred maintenance or reallocated funds that might otherwise support classroom materials and programs.

Community members familiar with Los Lunas High School are being asked to review the released images and descriptions and report any recognition of the individuals. The police appeal signals a reliance on neighborhood knowledge to advance the investigation and recover costs tied to the incident.

As the Los Lunas Police Department continues to investigate, residents should report tips through the department’s tip line or via the StopIt app with access code loslunaspd. The outcome of the probe will affect school cleanup timelines and could shape discussions about campus security measures and budget priorities at the next school board meeting.
