A man has been charged following an alleged burglary at a local school last week.

Students at Outwood Academy in Normanby were told to stay at home on 6th September following the incident, on what should have been the first day of the new term.

A 22-year-old man was arrested by police but was later released with no further police action.

Officers from Eston Neighbourhood Policing Team have continued their inquiries and on Sunday they arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of burglary other than dwelling.

The man has now been charged and is due to appear at court later this month.

Police are now able to name a man who died following a road traffic collision on the A171 last Thursday.

58-year-old former steelworker Jeffrey Amer from Nunthorpe sadly died following the incident.

The incident occurred at around 6.30pm on the A171, at the junction of West Lane, and involved a grey VW Golf and a Suzuki GSXR motorcycle.

Jeffrey, who was riding the motorcycle, sadly suffered fatal injuries. His family are being supported by specialist police officers.

Police are again asking anyone who may have dashcam footage or information which may assist their investigation to call them on the non-emergency number 101.

Police are appealing for information after a report of robbery in Middlesbrough in which an electric bike was reported as stolen.

The incident happened between 3.15pm and 3.40pm on Saturday in a wooded area off Cranswick Drive, near to an area known locally as 'Devil's Bridge'.

A biker reported that he was approached by a man with a weapon, believed to be an air rifle or BB gun. The man demanded he got off the bike, before making off on it towards Trinity College.

The man is described as a white male in his mid-20s, wearing a blue puffer jacket, black snood and dark coloured bottoms.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
