Two teenagers have been charged with a number of offences after a number of people were sprayed with a fire extinguisher by the pair, who were riding a moped.
The 14 and 15 year olds, who we can't name because of their age, are due to appear in court next month, after being charged with 28 offences, in all.
It follows a police investigation into 'a series of incidents' in Brean, Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge and Weston-super-Mare on Easter Sunday (9 April).
They have been jointly charged with:
- Nine counts of assault by beating
- Two counts of theft
- One count of criminal damage
- One count of aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving
The 14-year-old has also been charged with using a motor vehicle without insurance and driving otherwise in accordance with a licence.
Both boys are currently on bail and are due to appear at North Somerset Youth Court on Monday 2 November.
Avon and Somerset Police have thanked everybody who responded to their witness appeals and who assisted them with our enquiries as part of their investigation.
