Family members of acid attacker Arthur Collins have been charged with drug and weapons offences.

His father Arthur Collins Snr, 55, mother Jacqueline, 53, and brother Thomas, 22, were arrested after a cannabis farm was reportedly discovered at the family’s home.

The parents have been charged with permitting the production on premises of cannabis, police said.

His brother faces a drug possession charge and two counts of possession of a weapon.

The Sun reported that one of the weapons was a CS gas device and the other was electrical.

All three, of Broxbourne, Herfordshire, are due to appear at North East Herts Magistrates Court on May 9.

Collins, who has a baby with TOWIE star Ferne McCann, was jailed for 20 years in December for throwing acid over revellers in a crowded east London nightclub.

The incident left 14 people with chemical burns and three people temporarily blinded.

He was convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine of actual bodily harm in November.
