Children under the age of ten were the prime suspects in nearly 3,000 crimes last year, according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act.

"Police statistics show that 2,840 crimes, including harassment, wounding and burglary, were thought to have been committed by children younger than ten, the age of criminal responsibility.

Nearly half of the alleged offences, about 1,300, involved criminal damage and arson. Undertens were also suspected of committing 66 sex offences, including sexual assaults on children under the age of 13."
