The Telegraph, which also reported that two youths were responsible for the damage, reported that they could now face prosecution under the Norway’s Cultural Heritage Act.
Tor-Kristian Storvik, an archaeologist for Norway’s Nordland County, said he’s not prepared to take back the crime report sent to police even though children came forward and took responsibility. “We are instructed by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage to report all violations of the Cultural Heritage Act, and this is a quite serious violation,” he told the newspaper.
