Police do normal police stuff... feel the need to call it "Operation Tornado"

Police on Teesside are planning to carry out more than 40 operations over the coming week as part of efforts to target known criminals.

Officers from Cleveland Police will focus on domestic violence, anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and shop crime during Operation Tornado.
