Youths reported in connection with smashed school windows

TWO youths have been reported in connection with alleged "malicious mischief" in Elgin after New Elgin Primary School had its windows smashed over the weekend.

On Sunday, September 29, between the hours of 2pm and 4.30pm, a number of windows were broken at the school on Bezack Street, Elgin. Eggs and flour were also thrown. This resulted in extensive damage to the classrooms and reception area with broken glass spreading around the school.

As a result of enquiries carried out by officers, two youths, aged 9 and 11, have been referred to the Early and Effective Interventions Co-ordinator.

School staff were able to attend and ensure the areas affected were cleared, cleaned and ready to open for pupils to attend school as normal this week.
