Officers were called to The Bear and Bells pub in Beccles in November following reports of two men entering the venue with one pulling out a hammer.

Both men were arrested at the scene and released on bail until January 22, pending further enquiries.

Another 55-year-old man from the Beccles area was also arrested on suspicion of making homophobic comments.

After having their bail extended to February 21, Suffolk Police has now confirmed the pair have been re-bailed until April 22.

After the incident the previous landlords announced they were leaving the pub, but they had made their decision to quit before the incident occurred.

A spokesman for the Stonegate Group had confirmed new tenants are ready to take on the running of the pub.

The new publicans said they are "so close to opening now" and are looking for bar staff.
