A gang of teenagers who terrorised part of Worthing will be featured in a documentary to be aired tonight.
The schoolboys went on the rampage in 2001 and 2002, crashing cars into walls, wrecking gardens and committing burglaries in Durrington.
Their trail of destruction came to an end when they were caught watching a home video of their crimes by a teacher at their school.
The documentary, to be shown on BBC1, features an interview with PC Tony Taylor, who cleared up 103 crimes in a single afternoon after the discovery of the videotape.
The footage showed them revisiting the scenes of their crimes and the victims inspecting the damage.
Five teenagers were charged with 22 offences including burglary, theft and criminal damage.
They asked for a further 20 offences to be taken into consideration. A further two were given a final warning after admitting their involvement.
Vandals Under Surveillance will be shown on BBC1 at 9pm tonight.
