Hull Police arrested three people on Friday night and charged them with vandalizing historic Fort Revere on Telegraph Hill in Hull Village.

On Friday, Aug. 25 at 10:16 p.m., a Hull Police officer was conducting a directed patrol at Fort Revere Park, which closes at sunset. The officer saw a 2013 Volvo in the parking lot with nobody inside. The officer used the cruiser’s loudspeaker to announce that the park was closed, and instructed anyone there to leave.

Three people – Kylie Ferreira, 20, and Matthew Ferreira, 18, both of Cohasset and a 17-year-old girl whose name is not being released – emerged from the dark and walked toward the car. Police said they were carrying a can of spray paint, and officers found fresh paint on the walls of the concrete fort.

Ferreira and Ferreira both were arrested and charged with tagging property and trespassing and arraigned on those charges on Monday. The underage girl was released but will face the same charges in Hingham District Court.
