FOUR people have been cautioned after beer bottles were thrown from a moving car in Corfe Mullen.

Police received "numerous reports" of cars being damaged by the bottles in March.

Officers then traced the three men and a woman involved.

A spokesperson from the Wimborne Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "All have received formal police cautions and were required to pay compensation in full to the victims.

"Criminal damage to property causes inconvenience and distress to those affected, pushes up the cost of insurance for everyone and diminishes the quality of life for residents.

"If people engage in damaging others property, they will be located and held to account for their actions."
