The Echo understands that the burned out car was removed from the scene on July 5. The location of the vehicle and the resources needed meant it couldn't be removed any sooner.

Inspector Ash Hopper, of Northumbria Police, said after the incident: "We understand and recognise the impact that the anti-social behaviour of a minority has on our wider communities.

"We will not tolerate this type of behaviour and a full investigation – with the support from our partners - has been launched."

"We would continue to ask members of the public to contact us with any information or concerns about anti-social behaviour via the Report it page of our website or by calling 101.”
