The incident occurred on Saturday at around 4am on Wycherley Close, and destroyed the caravan and caused damage to a neighbour's house, garage, and vehicles.

Officers are treating the incident as suspected arson and are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone who has private CCTV footage to contact them on the non-emergency number 101.

A man has been taken to hospital with a head injury following a late-night assault at a local pub.

Cleveland Police were called to the the Southern Cross pub, in Marton, on Saturday night after a man was allegedly attacked.

Police said the victim suffered a head injury and was taken to hospital.

An investigation has been launched and police have asked for anyone with information to come forward. 

Anyone with information should contact police on the non-emergency number 101.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council have announced a big recycling change for local residents.

Black caddies used by residents to help separate paper from recycling waste are to be phased out of operation.

Over the years the caddies were distributed to homes in Redcar and Cleveland so bin crews could keep the recycling segregated when emptying the bins and taking it to the sorting facility.

Redcar and Cleveland Council has now confirmed new recycling contractor, Cumbria Waste Management, has the facilities to sort the paper at its recycling centre, meaning residents can now dispose of their paper in the blue bins with the rest of their recycling.
