Police say a man who was caught on video damaging a photo safety camera in a Phoenix school zone has been arrested.

On Aug. 18 at about 10 a.m., Phoenix police say 20-year-old Brandon Ribadeneira intentionally damaged a camera near Cave Creek Road and Deer Valley Drive, causing over $47,000 in damages.

"Ribadeneira was driving over the posted speed limit, activating the Photo Safety Camera. He then pulled over, exited his vehicle, pushed over the Photo Safety Camera and struck it several times with a rock before leaving the area," police said in a news release. "A short time later, Ribadeneira returned in a truck, attached a strap to the device and attempted to drag it down the street, causing additional damage before the strap broke."
