Two children have been reported by police for damage caused to a playpark in East Belfast.
The youths, aged 11 and 13, were spoken to by officers in the presence of their parents, police have said.
A PSNI East Belfast spokesman said: "Thanks to your help, we have identified and spoken to two youths aged 11 and 13 years of age in the presence of their (understandably furious) parents, who have admitted responsibility for the damage to equipment at Avoneil playpark in East Belfast earlier this week.
"Both young people will now be the subject of a report to the Youth Diversion Officer.

"This incident once again reinforces our regular appeals for parent and guardians to know where their children are and what they are doing.
"It’s also critically important to speak to children to ensure they understand that what might seem like fooling about can sometimes get out of hand.
