POLICE are hunting two suspects who forced their way into a man’s home looking for cannabis.

The two masked men forced entry to a property on Elm Street, South Moor, Stanley, before allegedly demanding “give us what you’ve got.”

The incident happened just after 12am yesterday.

A Durham Police spokesperson said: "The suspects fled in a small silver vehicle after being spooked by a dog in the house.

"The men are described as being in their 20s and wore grey or dark-coloured tracksuits.

"A number of cannabis plants were seized from the property and police are currently investigating this."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Durham Constabulary on 101 quoting reference number 4 of May 29.
