Children are facing a high price for a prank after squirting tomato ketchup over a £140,000 Lamborghini.

The suspected dare happened in Poringland but the youngsters hadn't banked on them being caught on CCTV wandering the streets with what appeared to be a ketchup bottle.

And they were caught after the owner of the swanky sports car shared the footage on social media in an effort to find the vandals and the kids were recognised and caught red-handed

The owner has spoken to TBC Detailing who will be looking after the repairs.
