Hartlepool Proactive Team stopped a man during patrols on Avenue Road in the town at around 5pm yesterday, Monday 13th January, when they came across a disturbance between a man and a woman in the street.
The man, who was wearing a balaclava, was stopped and searched by officers who found a bag of drugs, believed to be heroin, and a lock knife.
The 27-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs and possession of a bladed article. He was taken to police custody where he was questioned and later released on bail whilst further enquiries continue.
