Two RAF engineers who broke a Paddington statue in Newbury have been told by a judge they are the "antithesis" of everything the bear stands for.

Daniel Heath and William Lawrence, both 22, each admitted an offence of criminal damage at Reading Magistrates' Court.

The statue was damaged before being taken shortly after 02:00 GMT on 2 March.

The pair, who committed the offence while drunk on a night out, have been ordered to carry out unpaid work and each pay 拢2,725 to cover the cost of repairs.
