A SUSPECT who was talked down from a roof by police in North Cotswolds last week has been charged with criminal damage and will appear in court later this month.

On Wednesday police negotiators talked a suspect down from a roof in Chipping Camden.

The suspect eventually surrendered and was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

He has since been charged with damaging a car and the rooftop he was clambering on.

He'll be in court on March 21.
