The Coastguard have been called for yet another car stuck on the beach.

This time a Jaguar became stuck on the beach near the Boat Park in Marske.

It was stuck with sand reaching the bottom of the vehicle and was eventually freed using a four by four.

It comes after several similar incidents on the beach between Redcar and Saltburn.

Now the Coastguard have told us their rescue vehicles will only be used when lives are in danger.

Police are still urging drivers to check their dash cams after a bank raid in Eston.

Police were called on Tuesday morning after a white Ford Kuga drove into the front of Yorkshire Bank.

Men stole tens of thousands of pounds in cash boxes before driving away.

The car is thought to have used false number plates and was later found burnt out in South Lackenby.

There the thieves changed into a dark coloured BMW before driving off.

Anyone who witnessed the event or anyone with dash cam footage is asked to call police on 101.

And arrangements for this year's Festival of Thrift at Kirkleatham Museum are now well underway.

The theme for the fifth annual event has been revealed as the power of nature.

Visitors can learn how to live sustainably by getting creative while saving money and the environment.

New highlights for this year include a mystery tour in a converted double decker bus, ideas for thrifty ceremonies and the chance to become a citizen of Cardboardia.

It's set to take place on the 23rd and 24th of September at Kirkleatham Museum.
