Four teenagers have been charged with wilful fire raising in Aberdeenshire.

On May 6, approximately 120 bales of hay were set alight in St Cyrus. The estimated damage cost is £2500.

The 14-year-old boys have been reported to the Children's Reporter.

PC Marc Camus said: "I'd like to thank the community for their assistance and support with this investigation.

"Not only has this incident impacted on the farmer but could have had far more serious consequences."
