Police were spotted in the town heading towards an address. They descended on Cameron Road in two vans and a car and were spotted by residents in the area at around 11.20am on Tuesday, August 13.

The crews who were in attendance were seen using a battering ram in order to gain entry to the house on the road in Hartlepool. Officers could be seen handcuffing the male and they then arrested him soon after.
