A third man has been charged in connection with a break-in at a farm in Leicestershire in which two burglars were shot by a householder.
Police said a 31-year-old was to appear at Loughborough Magistrates' Court on 9 January.

No legal action was taken against Mr and Mrs Ferrie.
Leicestershire Police said: "A 23-year-old man remains on police bail pending further inquiries whilst a second arrested 31-year-old man has been released with no further action."
