VANDALS caused more than £500 damage at Rishton Methodist School after smashing four double-glazed windows.

Witnesses reported seeing a gang of six nine-year-old children climb over the school's six-foot high fences before throwing stones at the windows.

Sgt Ian Corbett appealed for any other witnesses to the incident on Friday night to come forward.
