The volunteers of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team have been called into action to assist an injured walker on a coastal path near Marske.

The team were called at around half past midday yesterday to assist an ambulance crew who had been treating the woman for a knee injury.

Once the ambulance staff were ready she was lifted onto a stretcher, secured in a vacuum mattress and wrapped in a casualty bag to keep warm.

She was then carried back to the roadside and transferred to the ambulance.

Police have made two arrests following alleged supermarket burglary in Eston.

Just after 11pm on Thursday officers were called to a report of a burglary in progress at Sainsburys on Bankfields Road.

On arrival several men were allegedly seen leaving the scene and two men aged 28 and 34 were arrested in connection with the reported incident.

Enquiries are on-going and police believe the area was busy with passing motorists at the time.

Any drivers who have dash cam footage, as well as anyone else with information, is asked to contact Cleveland Police via the non-emergency number 101.

The coastguard has issued a warning to the public as Storm Franklin brings high winds to our area this morning.

A yellow weather warning is now in place, meaning that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.

Stay back, stay safe and don’t take any unnecessary risks in or on the water which may endanger yourselves, your family and put rescuers at risk that are called out.

Should you see anyone in trouble on or near the coast, you should dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
