A woman who allegedly told airport staff she was carrying a bomb in her luggage has been charged by police. It follows an incident at Newcastle Airport on Friday involving Lesley Brennan, 48, of Wheatley Gardens, West Boldon, South Tyneside.
As reported in later editions of The Northern Echo on Saturday, Ms Brennan was charged with communicating false information under section 51 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 and bailed to attend Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Friday.
