ARLINGTON, VA -- A local teen has been arrested after he brought a large group of people into someone else's home Sunday night, and then proceeded to trash the place, police say.

Police were called to the 4700 block of Dittmar Road at around 10 p.m. to a report of a possible trespasser after friends of the victim -- who was out of town -- arrived at the victim's residence and found a "large number of people inside," according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.
