Vandals who wrecked a creche forcing staff to close it down have been ordered to pay compensation towards the cost of repairs.

Three teenagers were arrested following the attack on the creche at Moulsecoomb Primary School, in Brighton, on February 27.

They threw a dozen eggs around the room and kicked holes in the ceiling with a football causing hundreds of pounds of damage.

Two of the teenagers appeared at Brighton Youth Court last month where they admitted causing criminal damage. A third boy, age 15, failed to attend the hearing and was arrested on a warrant.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was brought before the court where he also admitted the offence.

The youth also admitted breaching a conditional discharge imposed last year for two other offences of criminal damage.
