Images of a man, connected with violent disorder in Darlington earlier this month, have been released as officers search for him.

Police want to identify the man after "sporadic pockets of violent disorder" erupted in Darlington two weeks ago. 

Officers were deployed to the North Lodge Park area on the evening of Monday, August 5, after two large groups of mostly males gathered shortly after 9pm.
