A police dog named Fritz was released and chased after them. The pair were caught close by the school without incident.
Both were taken into custody, and later released with a promise to appear in court.
Chilliwack RCMP suspect this pair is linked to a series of other break and enter attempts in schools in the area.
“Over the last 6 weeks, several schools in the Chilliwack area have either been broken into or vandalized,” said Chilliwack RCMP constable Tracy Wolbeck.
“This has been on our radar since we first noticed this being a bit of a trend in the area.”
The two suspects have been charged with at least one count of break and enter.
A court hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb. 26.
