Labour have recorded an impressive win in the Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner election.

Susan Dungworth was elected with a majority of almost 100,000 over her nearest rival - Conservative candidate Ros Munro. The former Northumberland Labour leader is the force's third successive Labour commissioner, following Dame Vera Baird and newly elected North East Mayor Kim McGuinness.

It marked the culmination of a successful day for Labour in the North East, having previously secured the office of mayor in the inaugural election. Mrs Dungworth led the ballot in every area covered by Northumbria Police.
