POLICE have recovered property worth more than £1,000 in a series of raids across Teesside.

Officers swooped on addresses in Stockton, Billingham, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool, seizing property ranging from power tools to a dog kennel.

Eleven people, including a 14-year-old boy, were arrested in connection with burglaries in the Stockton area.

Details of the raids, on Wednesday, emerged yesterday and they were carried out after criminal intelligence gathering by police.

Acting Detective Sergeant Dave Clough, of Cleveland Police, said it had been a great success.
