Two teenage boys are sentenced to youth service after throwing stones at passing cars from a bridge over E18 in Kristinehamn one evening in November last year. The boys will also pay damages to several claimants totaling 340,000 kronor, writes NWT.

One of the stones hit the windshield of a car where a family with children was traveling. A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old boy were charged with the crimes in April and are now sentenced. One boy is sentenced for six counts of endangering another and six counts of criminal damage.

The other is sentenced for two counts of criminal damage and two counts of endangering another.

In a mobile film found on one of the boys' mobile phones, they can be heard laughing while throwing stones and saying "hit" or "get the hell out of here".

One of the boys admits to committing the crime, but claims he wasn't being careless since he didn't think the stones could harm the people traveling in the cars. The other boy denies the crime and claims he threw his stones off the side of the road.
