'A 16-year-old boy has been charged with causing criminal damage after almost 30 vehicles were attacked in a tyre slashing spree on Tyneside.
Police said 26 vehicles had tyres ripped in an area of Wallsend between Monday and Tuesday.
Cars had been targeted in Barr Close, Brighton Close and Bodmin Close, a spokesman said.
The youth is expected to appear at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning. '
As some one who woke up one morning on a small estate to find that this sort of thing had occurred over night, I can well remember the chaos as families couldn't get their kids to school, hospital appointments where missed, people didn't get to work till late.
Then there was the run on the local tyre fitters. The youth involved in ours had been upset over breaking up with his girlfriend. Went to the trouble of attending the mags court and listened to the crap spouted in his defence by his solicitor . Didn't know who I wanted to thump the most, the slasher or the solicitor.
