At around 8am on Sunday we first received a call that some teenage boys had climbed onto the roof of a property in Westerhope, Newcastle.
The teens then threw objects at members of the public and police officers who had gathered below.
It caused a significant amount of disruption and damage to the local community as well as redirecting a large number of our resources.
Two of the males - both aged 16 - were arrested following the incident. A 17-year-old male was taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries sustained in a fall but was later arrested.
Now all three have been charged with a string of offences including affray, criminal damage, theft from motor vehicle, resisting arrest and an assault of a police officer.
The males - who cannot be named for legal reasons - will appear before Bedlington Magistrates Court this morning.
