The volunteers of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team have been called into action in our area to search for a missing vulnerable person. 

On Saturday night the team deployed to a rendezvouz point east of Captain Cook’s Monument, together with three Team vehicles including the Incident Control vehicle.

Upon arrival Team members were split into four parties and commenced searching areas of land as requested by the Police. 

In the early hours of Sunday morning one of the search parties located a body and the Police then attended the scene.

Twenty team members took part in the search and were stood-down after just over three hours.

 

Two coal conveyors have been demolished in a controlled explostion at the former Redcar steelworks.

A huge boom was heard across Redcar yesterday lunchtime as the controlled demolition took place.

Plumes of dark smoke could be seen coming from the steelworks.

Cleveland Fire Brigade have confirmed they were aware of the planned explosion and were not required to attend.

 

Cleveland Police are asking for the public's help after a collision in our area in which a man was injured.
