Boy charged with vandalism

A TEENAGE boy has been charged in connection with the vandalism of a valuable artwork.

The 15-year-old will be referred to the Children’s Reporter after the Over Here piece by London-based artist Shane Waltener was damaged at a sculpture park outside Edinburgh.

The piece, valued between £40,000 and £50,000, was damaged at Jupiter Artland on the Bonnington House estate in July this year.

The artist is to replace the piece, a giant, knitted cobweb which hung from a tree in woodland, in the autumn.
