The British Transport Police said on Saturday (April 9) it had caught the youths on the tracks at Peakirk.

In a tweet, it said that all 10 of them had their contact details taken with further action to be taken later.

The incident comes less than a week after officers said four youths were ‘dicing with death’ by leaving concrete for a train to hit before running away.

Fortunately, no one was injured and no significant damage was caused to the train.
