A group of children who were caught on CCTV squirting ketchup over a £140,000 supercar have been tracked down by the owner and charged to clean up their mess.
The Lamborghini driver claims the condiment attack on his car took place when it was parked safely on the driveway at his home in Poringland, Norfolk.
The group of youngsters were wandering the street with a ketchup bottle and one squirted the Lambo Huracan in a suspected dare.
After sharing the CCTV footage on social media the children were quickly identified by residents.
The parents were then swiftly sent a £250 bill for the 5.2 litre vehicle for the cleaning work done by a professional valeting and detailing company.

The Lamborghini Huracan (BDP Media / SWNS)The owner of the swanky two-door sports car, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "It was the potential damage caused to the paintwork due to the acidity in ketchup.
"The problem was that the ketchup was squirted all into the engine bay.
"I sent the parents the bill and it has now been paid.”
The owner hopes the bill will teach the group of lads a valuable lesson.
A Lamborghini Huracan hit the news back in 2019 when it was written off after being slammed into a wall and tree - just seconds after taking off down a London street.
The Huracan Performante, worth more than £215,000, was being admired by car fanatics before the driver decided to show off his skills.
The sports car had been at an HR Owen Supercar Sunday event in Acton, north London and footage showed the driver revving the car's 5.2-litre V10 engine, before setting off down an urban street.
But seconds into the ride, the driver seems to lose control, over correct, and slam into the wall before coming to a stop against a tree.
