A group of seven children, some as young as 11, caused £300,000 worth of damage to a £1.2 million home on the Isle of Wight, using chainsaws, axes, and sledgehammers. The father of one of the children said they may have targeted the house because they believed it to be haunted. The children admitted to causing criminal damage and were fined, with six of them ordered to pay £1,500 each in compensation. The owners, who were on vacation at the time, described the attack as "mindless" and stated that it would take a long time to recover financially and emotionally.
