Teenagers arrested after coaches damaged in Midsomer Norton
Police said vintage vehicles at Centurion Travel's store yard have also been damaged
Two teenagers have been arrested after vehicles were damaged at a coach firm in Midsomer Norton.
Officers were called just before 8pm on Monday 13 April to Centurion Travel’s storage yard in West Road, Welton.
Avon and Somerset Police company staff had detained one person at the scene and told officers about five people with their faces covered had been there when they arrived, and that they believed they were all teenagers.
A boy in his mid-teens was arrested at the scene but police said it was later "necessary" to de-arrest him and take him home.
Police have said he will be interviewed in due course.
A second boy, also in his mid-teens, was arrested on Tuesday 14 April on suspicion of causing criminal damage, and remains in police custody.
According to police two minibuses, five single decker coaches and three double decker vehicles were damaged, along with two privately-owned cars.
The force added that a further three vintage vehicles, being preserved as travel heritage, were damaged , and will be "very difficult" to repair.
Centurion Travel's Managing Director, Martin Spiller, has said the incident will impact the community and the family-run business, stating the damage will require tens of thousands of pounds in repairs and sourcing replacement vehicles.
The company runs school services in Bath and North East Somerset and Mr Spiller said nothing like this has happened since the business opened its depot in Welton in 1973.
He added that his priority is trying to make sure the services will run when schools go back next week, after the Easter break.
Avon and Somerset Police would like to hear from anyone with relevant dashcam footage or information which could help the investigation,
