Four schoolboys caused £30,000 worth of damage to a model railway exhibition after getting drunk on
vodka during a “pre-exam night out”, a court heard.
The 16-year-old students deliberately trashed the display after breaking into the Stamford Welland
Academy gym to play football in the early hours of the morning. They pushed tables and threw parts of the
trains and track layouts at the wall, in what was described as “mindless, wanton destruction”.
