Five people arrested after police storm Middlesbrough home
Police raided a home on West Lane, in Middlesbrough, after an illegal bike was spotted being driven dangerously.
They said a bike was found along with suspected cannabis and class A drugs.
Five males, aged 17, 18, 19, 20 and 45 were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences.
All are currently on bail whilst enquiries continue.
PC John Skerritt, from Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The illegal use of bikes is often linked to other criminal matters, and puts innocent members of the public in danger.
“We won’t tolerate those who use these bikes to carry out criminality – not on our streets.
“Please contact police if you have information on illegal bikes, where they are stored and who is riding them, and also any information on drugs activity in your local area so that we can take action.”
