Three young children are responsible for damage done to a number of school buses at the Northway Bus Lines Depot in Capreol.

Greater Sudbury Police say over the weekend an employee of the bus service found one youth in a bus, and when officers arrived they found that several buses had been damaged over the last two weeks.

Windows were broken, several fire extinguishers where set off, with damages estimated at three thousand dollars.

Police say three children ages 8, 9 and 10 were responsible but cannot be identified or charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
