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

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’ Court later.
