A man has died two days after being found collapsed by police at a property which had had its windows smashed.

Cleveland Police said the 61-year-old was found on Samphire Street in Port Clarence at about 19:15 GMT on Monday.

The force had been attending a related report of an aggravated burglary on Hatfield Road in Billingham, which lies about three miles (4.8km) away, about 40 minutes earlier.

Six men and a woman were arrested in connection with the incidents.

A force representative said one man remained in custody, while the six others had been released on bail pending further inquiries.

They said the man had died in hospital and a post-mortem examination was due to be held to determine the cause of his death.
