YOBS caused damage sliding down the roof of a school in Coggeshall.

They entered Honywood School and climbed on the roof.

One of the suspects used a canopy to slide down and pulled guttering off.

Simon Mason, headteacher at the school in Westfield Drive, said: "The damage is annoying, of course, but I’d be even more worried for the safety of anyone getting on the roof, especially at night.

"The only message I would want to communicate is that those responsible need to be more thoughtful about how they entertain themselves, as they may injure themselves very seriously doing things like this."

It happened between 2.19am on March 12 and 6pm on March 13.

Anyone with information should contact Braintree Police on 101.
