North Wales Police (NWP) say that a number of youths aged between 12 and 15 were seen on the grounds of Ysgol Y Traeth in Barmouth, and in the area that the damage was caused.

Police said they will receive “yellow cards” for anti-social behaviour, whereby someone suspected of carrying out criminal activity is issued with a warning.
