Santa will be adding a couple more names to the naughty list.

Following reports of stolen Christmas lights Sunday, St. Thomas police arrested two youths.

They say around 8:30 p.m., a citizen reported seeing individuals trying to steal Christmas lights from the medical building on West Avenue.

Officers say when they arrived at the scene they found and arrested a 15-year-old and a 12-year-old.

With an uncanny resemblance to the holiday classic How The Grinch Stole Christmas, police say the youths had a backpack filled with stolen projector lights from various properties around the south end of the city.
