Peterlee

The 17-year-old did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody to appear at Teesside Crown Court on Wednesday 21 June.

Durham Police said a "significant amount" of damage was caused to the premises, with the suspects making off with a charity collection bucket.

A man from Peterlee who violently kicked his pet has been sentenced for his actions. Benji is now in the care of specialist RSPCA officers.
