Two arrests have been made after police attended a report of persons acting suspiciously at an address in Redcar where a cannabis farm was discovered.

Officers from the Redcar Town Neighbourhood Policing Team were on patrol when they attended the report at the address from which a large cannabis farm was located earlier on Friday.

When they arrived, two people made off from the officers in a vehicle, however the team were able to locate the vehicle and its occupants.

One male was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and possession with intent to supply drugs and a juvenile was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.

The vehicle that was used was also seized under police powers.

Posts recently installed next to a new footpath in Saltburn have been "pulled out with great force," police say.

Local councillors have had the posts installed near to the Ting Dene site in the seaside town.

However, they now appear to have been forcibly removed.

Anyone with information with regards to this incident is asked to contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.

A stolen moped has been returned to its owner after being found by police at the weekend.

Following a call from a member of the public, the moped was located in New Marske, to the rear of Lindrick Road in a wooded area.

Officers were then able to successfully reunite the moped with the rightful owner.

Unfortunately it had suffered some damage, however the owner was very happy to get the bike back!
