THREE youths have been arrested in connection with a spate of burglaries and criminal damage at a school.

Conyers School, in Green Lane, Yarm, has recently been subjected to repeated attacks of vandalism and break-ins, leading to a repair bill for Stockton Borough Council.

Over the weekends of November 4 to 7 and November 11 to 14, portable classrooms on the premises were broken into and damage caused to the property.

However, on Saturday, members of the public reported seeing people on the site, and when police attended the school, three local youths, all aged 15, were arrested.

They are all to be questioned by police.

Meanwhile, police will be paying extra attention to the school and residents are urged to contact police if they see anything suspicious.
