A man has been charged after two pig heads were left outside a Gateshead pub.

Police launched an investigation into what they described as a "targeted attack", outside the Coach and Horses, in Old Durham Road, Birtley, on 12 August.

A 20-year-old man, from Gateshead, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and released on bail.

He has since been charged with a public order offence, and is due to appear at South Tyneside Magistrates鈥 Court later.
