Two teenagers have been charged by the British Transport Police (BTP) after allegedly tampering with parcels on a Royal Mail train. The incident was reported in the early hours of Tuesday morning when BTP received information that two young men had gained access to the Royal Mail service at Lockerbie in Dumfries and Galloway.

During the incident, the suspects are said to have damaged signalling equipment. BTP responded promptly to the reports and located the 17-year-old and 18-year-old in a carriage on the train, where they were subsequently arrested.
