A DOG was rescued after clambering onto a roof of a property near Peterlee.
Police community support officers went to pet Toby's aid after he managed to escape through an upstairs window in the Horden area.
PCSO Jack Duffy climbed up onto the roof in order to rescue Toby from his so-called "precarious perch" on Saturday.
Meanwhile PCSO Vikki Gill contacted his owners.
Toby was safely reunited with his owners following the operation.
