One Guelph teen reportedly got taught an expensive lesson after a prank went wrong.

Guelph police said they were called to a home near Kortright Road around 10 p.m. on Wednesday.

They said four teenagers were riding their bikes when one of them stopped, picked up a lawn ornament, and threw it at a house.

They said the ornament broke a window, causing about $1,500 in damages.

After identifying the boy, officers spoke to him in front of his parents.

Police said no criminal charges will be laid but the 16-year-old will have to pay for the damage and complete a diversion program.
