A TEENAGER has been charged with criminal damage at a school that was in mourning after the death of a pupil.

The 17-year-old from Eastleigh was charged after £2,500 of damage was caused to Crestwood College, Eastleigh on July 16.

Just a few days earlier 16-year-old pupil Tasmin Dalton's body was found in the town.

The boy is due to appear before Southampton Youth Court on Thursday, August 4.

A 15-year-old boy, also from Eastleigh, was given a caution in relation to the incident.
