A man is due to appear in court charged with criminal damage after photos emerged of a row of houses in ruins.

Photos shared by the East Hertfordshire Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team showed several wrecked homes on what appears to be a building site with their walls ripped apart, surrounded by piles of debris.

Hertfordshire police said they were called at 5.38pm on Saturday, following an incident in Ermine Street, Buntingford.

A man was arrested by officers at the scene.

Daniel Neagu, 30, from Athelstone Road in Harrow, has been charged with causing criminal damage.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Hatfield Magistrates' Court on Monday.
