From the Chronicle, Thursday:
Toon striker Andy Carroll’s car was torched while parked on the drive of team-mate Kevin Nolan's house. Carroll is living with the Magpies skipper as a condition of his bail after being charged with the alleged assault of a teenager.
Nolan also had his garage door daubed with graffiti when his property in Northumberland was targeted last night.
Police were called after the United pair spotted Carroll’s chrome-plated Range Rover - which he recently bought to celebrate being awarded a new five-year contract - in flames on the drive.
Firefighters arrived at the house at around 7pm.
And when police got there, they found graffiti relating to the Gateshead-born striker scrawled on Nolan’s garage door.
Today, the obscenities had been covered-up with a sheet, while security staff stood guard outside house to prevent any other intruders gaining access.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "A car was set on fire at 7.08pm on Wednesday, October 20.
"Police received a report from the fire and rescue service of a fire outside an address. Officers attended and a Range Rover was found to be on fire. The fire was extinguished by the fire and rescue service and no one was injured.
"The garage door of the property was also vandalised."

Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll's new Range Rover was set ablaze at the house of teammate Kevin Nolan, where he has been ordered to stay by a court as part of his bail conditions.
Bet Nolans glad to have taken him in....

Lol, they made a joke about this on the Guardian podcast.. didn't realise it actually happened!
In other news. Kevin Nolan has added a condition to the terms of Bail for Andy Carroll.. reading Peppa Pig stories to his kids..
Guardian
He has been allowed to go to the hotel.
We're all safe now.
Haha, yeah he can now go back home once the renovation is complete. I'm trying to think whether I'd prefer Carroll or Barton to read stories to me.. (Obviously neither but for the sake of comedy..)
Well, I don't think I'd like either of them in my bedroom to be perfectly honest...
Carroll, simply because stories involving giants will be much easier to act.
You HAVE to choose
Carroll. Just because he scored 5 goals so far.
This. I imagine Barton would get into any fighting scenes a little too much..
So we're agreed:
Carroll>Barton when it comes to bedtime stories.
I think so yeah.
I'm glad we've come to such a quick agreement.
