Three teenagers have been arrested following a spree of vandalism at a North Tyneside community centre resulting in tens of thousands of pounds of damage.
In June, police received repeated reports of criminal damage at the Langdale Centre in Wallsend, which is owned by North Tyneside Council. On Sunday June 25, just after 6pm, officers attended after a report of roof tiles were being thrown from the building to the car park below.
The suspects fled the scene, but police gave chase and three boys, two aged 13 and one 14-year-old, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. They are currently on police bail as inquiries continue.
