Two men have been arrested after raids on two homes in a quiet Hartlepool village.

The pair, aged 36 and 43, are currently in custody awaiting questioning on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. This follows drugs warrants being executed at two separate addresses in Greatham High Street on Monday morning.

A picture from the scene shows a fleet of five Cleveland Police vehicles marking the fronts of the properties - one a mid-terrace and the other an end-terrace.

A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "We took action after receiving information on alleged drug dealing from the properties. Enquiries are on-going. If you suspect drug dealing in your neighbourhood you can report to Cleveland Police at any time online via our website or by phoning 101."

If you don’t want to speak to police you can pass information anonymously to independent charity www.crimestoppers-uk.org or phone them on 0800 555 111.

Man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO shouts on way into courthouse and fights extradition
The man charged with murder in the killing of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare made it clear he wasn’t going to make things easy on authorities, shouting unintelligibly and writhing in the grip of sheriff’s deputies as he was led into court and then objecting to being brought to New York to face trial. The displays of resistance Tuesday weren’t expected to significantly delay legal proceedings for Luigi Nicholas Mangione, who was charged in last week’s Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, the leader of the United States’ largest medical insurance company. Little new information has come out about possible motivation, though writings found in Mangione's possession hinted at a vague hatred of corporate greed.
