ARMED police swooped on two addresses after a 45-year-old woman was robbed for money in her own home.
At around 5.15pm on Thursday (July 11) two men entered her address on Wylam Street in Middlesbrough.
The men then stole cash from the woman, who police said had been left uninjured but traumatised.
Armed police then descended onto an address in Outram Street, Middlesbrough and Normanby Road, South Bank, after inital enquiries lead them there.
Police said the first suspect was described as a black male in his late 20s, around 5ft 6inches tall and of skinny to medium build.
While the second suspect was described as a black male, younger, taller and thinner than the first.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "Anyone with information regarding the incident or the suspects is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Chris Pringle from Middlesbrough CID on the non-emergency number 101, quoting event number 117350."
