A 14-year-old boy has been handed into police by his mother, after a window was smashed in a North Yorkshire village.
Police say a group of four teenagers have been spoken to after they were seen running away from the home in Norton, near Malton.
A mother had challenger her son about the incident after seeing an appeal on the police's website, before bringing him to a station to be questioned.
Four boys were interviewed in total, and all admitted to damaging the window, and have agreed to cover the costs.
PC Jane Jones said: "They have agreed to pay compensation to cover the cost to get the window repaired.
"They have also agreed to take part in restorative justice with the victim which includes apologising for the damage and upset they have caused.
"I thank the victim and the parents for supporting this process which will hopefully put a stop to such offending in the future."
