A TEENAGER is set to be questioned by officers after being caught walking the streets with a baseball bat by a police dog and his handler.
Essex Police received reports of criminal damage at a restaurant in Canvey before officers hunted for a pair of suspects.
Two men were eventually stopped by police dog Diesel and his handler but after an extensive searched it was established they had not been involved in the incident.
A 19-year-old, however, was found to be in possession of an offensive weapon in the form of a small baseball bat, which was seized by officers.
The young Canvey man will now be interviewed under caution.
