Conservative Tim Passmore has been re-elected as Suffolk's police and crime commissioner.

Mr Passmore won the role after "second choice" votes were taken into consideration.

In his acceptance speech, the former leader of Mid-Suffolk District Council said he felt "humbled" and "honoured" to be re-elected with a big majority.

The second round was between Conservative candidate Tim Passmore and Labour candidate Cath Pickles.

Turnout in the election was higher than expected, with the figure at 24.47% over all, up from 16% in 2012.

As Mr Passmore did not secure a clear 50% of the vote, "second choice" votes had to be taken into account.
