The man was seen by response officers on patrol on Marton Road as he carried a large TV around 4:40am this morning near to the Stoneacre garage.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council have warned that there may be problems with garden waste collection update for residents of Boosbeck, Lingdale, Brotton and parts of Guisborough today.

Due to a driver shortage, the council says they will not be able to collect garden waste bins in these areas today.

Residents are being asked to put their bins out again tomorrow morning as the council is aiming to get the garden waste bins collected then.

The council has apologised for any inconvenience that this may cause.
