A 14-year-old boy has been charged in connection with an alleged wilful fire-raising incident at an Aberdeenshire school.
It happened around 1.30pm on Monday at Meldrum Academy in Oldmeldrum. A four-figure sum of damage was caused.
Sergeant Wayne Bedford said: “This incident has resulted in a significant amount of damage to a toilet area at the school which will be costly to repair. Thankfully the fire was extinguished quickly and no one was injured however it goes without saying that this could have been a far more serious incident.”
The 14-year-old boy will be reported to the youth justice management unit.
