Police have formally identified alleged murder victim who died following an incident in Marske.

47-year-old Steven McGowan's body was discovered inside an address on Wheatacre Close last Wednesday.

A murder probe was launched last week after firefighters were called to the property to deal with a house fire.

Emergency services were called to the scene around 2.15am and a huge police cordon erected.

A 25-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of murder, however, he wasreleased under investigation as enquiries continue.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police on the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage following a collision in Middlesbrough.

The collision happened just after quarter to five on Tuesday afternoon on Woodville Avenue in the town, and involved a black Renault Megane and a 4-year-old boy. 

The boy was taken to James Cook University Hospital with serious head injuries.

Officers are appealing for any witnesses who have not already spoken to police or anyone with dash cam footage to get in touch. 

Any witnesses to the collision or anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.

The Redcar Coastguard Rescue Team have been called into action in our area.

The Redcar team were paged just before 9.30pm on Sunday to reports of a person possibly in trouble on the cliffs at Huntcliff after a concerned member of the public had called it in.

The team undertook an extensive search along the shoreline and on top of the cliff assisted by RNLI Redcar with their thermal imaging camera due to darkness setting in.

After a three hour search with nothing found all teams were stood down.

The public are reminded that if you see anyone in trouble on the beach or cliffs you should dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
