North Yorkshire Police say it happened at around 5:30pm on Wednesday January 25 when three men who were using the computer suite at Scarborough Librray on Vernon Road were asked to leave by staff for disturbing other members of the public.

On his way out of the building, one of the men pushed over a library stand, causing damage to the attached display cases. All three of them then left the library, turning right up Vernon Road towards Westborough.
