Cheryl Cole's brother Andrew Tweedy has been arrested by police investigating an armed robbery.

The X Factor judge is thought to be 'in shock' after her 29-year-old brother was held yesterday following a raid at a Post Office in Longbenton, North Tyneside, on Monday.

A woman was also held and four men bailed over the incident in which the robbers allegedly waved a gun and machete at customers before escaping with thousands of pounds.

No one was hurt in the incident. Two women customers fled to a nearby shop

Priya Mishra, who runs the shop, told The Sun: 'One ran into the back and hid. Another started saying something I couldn't understand. She was in shock.'
On Tuesday, police arrested a man in his 30s on a busy road in Newcastle before visiting various other addresses, one of which is thought to be Tweedy's house.
All of those arrested in connection to the raid were held on a 'variety of offences'.

A police spokesperson said: 'A vehicle and firearm have been recovered. We are pursuing lines of inquiry.'

While the spokesman refused to confirm the identity of those arrested, a source told The Sun: 'Andrew has been arrested'.

He once angered sister Cheryl by giving an interview to a national newspaper about their impoverished upbringing.

In a previous interview, Tweedy said: 'Cheryl wants to help me but I'm too far gone. I know I'm breaking her heart but I'm not strong enough to sort myself out.
'She says she will never give up on me.'
