Employees at an industrial estate in County Durham were evacuated by police following a bomb threat.
Police were called shortly after 8.30am on Friday morning to reports of a bomb threat at Enterprise House in Spennymoor.
The Durham County Council building is home to services including the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust's affective disorders community intervention team which helps people with various mental health issues including anxiety, depression, mood disorders and personality problems.

Members of staff have now been allowed back into the premises and the cordon has been removed.
