The volunteers of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team have been called into action in our area at the weekend.

Just after 1.30pm on Saturday the team were contacted by Cleveland Police after a woman having sustained a lower leg injury on one of the paths leading down from Roseberry Topping towards the car-park.

Team members assisted with splinting then lifted the casualty onto a mountain rescue stretcher and wrapped her securely within a vacuum mattress.

She was then carried for approximately 700 metres around the hillside and placed into a Team Land Rover before being driven down to a waiting ambulance before being taken to James Cook University Hospital.

Anyone concerned about antisocial behaviour in their neighbourhood should call the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
