Three teenage boys have been arrested and charged with robbery.

Earlier this month a 17-year-old boy was threatened on Eston Hills and camping equipment was stolen.

Now three teenagers as young as 13 have been charged for the robbery and possession of a blade.

They are due to appear at Teesside Youth Court later this month.

A group of people have been rescued after being cut off by the tide at Redcar.

It happened yesterday evening on the beach near the Regent Cinema.

They were spotted trying to wade back to shore when lifeboat crew members were about to start a training exercise.

Three members of the lifeboat service got their wetsuits on and walked the group back to safety.

Now they're warning people to be more wary of tide times when walking on the beach.

And police are warning Snapchat users to be careful after people from our area have received malicious links.

Links have been sent both by friends and new contacts claiming to have photos of the victim.

When the link is clicked the user's asked to login to Facebook only to have their account has been taken over.

Now Cleveland Police are asking locals to be careful and to delete any Facebook apps they're not comfortable with.
