Police say the victims at Mill Lane - who also suffered verbal abuse - weren't seriously injured in the incident, at around 10.10pm on Saturday 14th September.

A 13-year-old girl from Uplyme in Devon has been charged with criminal damage, common assault and a public order offence.

A 13-year-old girl from Lyme Regis has been charged with two counts of common assault and a public order offence.

A 14-year-old girl from Axminster in Devon has also been charged with a public order offence.

They're due before Weymouth Magistrates Court next month.
