Two 14-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of arson following a fire at a North-East school.

The pair, who are from Middleton St George, near Darlington were arrested on Friday night and have been released on police bail until March 24.

The teenagers have been questioned over a fire which gutted Middleton St George primary school on February 26.

Forensics teams believe the fire was started when newspapers stuffed under the eaves of the roof were set alight.
