Following a police investigation, the teenager was interviewed and admitted to causing the damage.

He will be referred to the Youth Offending Team which aims to tackle children's behaviour and help them stay away from crime.

If the boy is found not to be eligible for the Youth Offending Team he may still end up in court.
