The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has demanded £40,000 compensation from a 17-year-old girl who admitted attacking a branch during G20 protests in London.
The girl, who cannot be named, admitted burglary and criminal damage when protesters targeted the Threadneedle Street branch of the RBS on 1 April.
Prosecution counsel told West London Youth Court the bank wanted to recover the losses incurred during the protest.
The girl, who lives in Brighton, was given an eight-month referral order.
As part of her sentence she may be asked to pay a smaller sum of compensation to RBS.
Prosecutor Ann Crighton said three plate glass windows were broken and several pieces of computer hardware, which cost an estimated £40,000, were stolen.
Police saw the girl smashing a computer monitor with a keyboard and flinging the keyboard against a window, breaking it.
