Four teenagers have been arrested following an incident at McDonalds in Middlesbrough.

Officers were called to a report of a disturbance at McDonalds at the Linthorpe Road restaurant at around 5:30pm yesterday evening.

On police arrival, a 17-year-old male was found with a laceration to his stomach and is receiving treatment in hospital.

His injuries are not believed to be life threatening. It is believed a sharp implement was used to injure the male.

Three males and one female aged between 16 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of affray and currently remain in custody.

Police have arrested a 31-year-old man after he was allegedly seen breaking into a vehicle in Grangetown.

The incident happened at around 4:20am this morning, Wednesday 11th March, on Bolckow Road.

Officers arrested a man who was allegedly attempting to break into a Nissan Qashqai.

They also recovered from him a small quantity of suspected class A drugs, believed to be heroin.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted theft from a vehicle and possession of class A drugs.

He remains in police custody at this time.

A unique area of land overlooking the beach in Redcar is being marketed as a prime opportunity for development.

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has identified the RKade site, which was formerly used as a skate park, as an opportunity for a variety of leisure-based organisations to bid their interest.

This is part of the council's longer-term ambitions to revitalise the Coatham area into a leisure destination.

The council owns the 2.65-acre area, located on Majuba Road near TunedIn!, and is advertising the land as a long-term lease agreement of up to 99 years.

Full demolition and clearance of the site is expected to take place this year, with preparation of the area for the upcoming development to be supported by funding from Tees Valley Combined Authority.
