FOUR men have been arrested after PCSOs stopped a vehicle driving through rural County Durham.

The occupants of the vehicle were detained after being stopped by PCSOs Lisa Hall and Amy Jorgeson on Hurworth Burn Lane, in the Trimdon area, near Sedgefield, at about midday yesterday.

The officers, who said they responded to the call and were there within minutes, arrested four males on suspicion of assault and attempted theft.

A picture posted by Sedgefield Police on Facebook showed two police vans and one police car parked alongside a silver vehicle near to Trimdon.

PCSO Hall commended the response to the call-out.

The force was last night unable to provide any further details about the incident.
