Body Found In Search For Missing Tyneside Man

The discovery, close to his home, came hours after five people in his "circle of friends" were arrested on suspicion of murder. Police have been searching properties and open land near St Stephen's Way in Percy Main, North Tyneside, for signs of Jimmy Prout. Superintendent Peter Bent said Mr Prout moved to the Percy Main area two years ago and did not have much contact with his brothers or father.
