Raid finds garage turned into bar

A woman has been arrested after police found a fully functioning bar, with price lists, snacks, a jukebox and a fruit machine, in a garage on Teesside.

Neighbours in Alford Street in Brotton, near Saltburn, complained about anti-social behaviour and noise from the house, owned by a woman in her 50s.

When police raided the property on Friday, they discovered several young people in the converted garage.

The woman is being questioned for offences under the 2003 Licensing Act.

Police also cautioned one other person at the scene for possession of cannabis.

A Cleveland Police spokesman said: "Concerns that are raised by members of the public will be acted on positively.

"Anti-social behaviour in Brotton will not be tolerated and we will act robustly upon receiving any further reports."
