THE owners of a haul of items found by detectives in a property in a County Durham town are being sought.

On Tuesday morning officers from South Durham CID executed a search warrant at an address in the Bishop Auckland area and discovered a number of items including tools.

Some of the times have been confirmed as stolen and the others remain to have their owners identified.

Anyone who recognises the items in the photographs released by Bishop Auckland Police is asked to call South Durham CID via 101 and ask to speak with PC 2159 Andy Denham or DS 1877 James Vance.
