A teenager arrested as he approached the Prime Minister's constituency home was the son of rock star Bryan Ferry, it emerged this weekend.
Otis Ferry, 19, was apparently staging a pro-hunting protest when he was stopped by armed police in Trimdon Colliery, Co Durham, shortly before 4am on Wednesday.
Earlier this week a Durham Police spokesman said: "Shortly before 4am a hooded man was spotted walking towards the front gate of Myrobella House in Trimdon Colliery.
"He was challenged by two uniformed officers and when he refused to give personal details he was arrested."
The spokesman said the intruder's Peugeot car was found in the car park of a local pub.
Ferry was later released without charge but was rearrested by Humberside Police and taken for questioning about an unrelated matter.
He was then released on bail pending further inquiries.
Otis Ferry is understood to be a passionate hunt supporter.
His father had a string of hits in the Seventies as the lead singer of Roxy Music and later as a solo artist. He has a country home in West Sussex.
