A dog has been seized and a woman arrested after an incident in Middlesbrough.

Yesterday Police seized an Akita-type dog and arrested a 37-year-old woman on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control.

This comes after police were called to an address on Mayfair Avenue at around 8pm on Monday evening.

A 26-year-old man sustained serious injuries to his arm and he required treatment in James Cook University Hospital.

The dog was seized and is currently in a secure police facility whilst the woman is questioned and other enquiries continue.

 

A teenager who police wanted to speak to in relation to alleged violent offences has been arrested.

Officers spotted the 17-year-old youth in Grangetown yesterday and after a brief pursuit, he was detained and arrested on Tennyson Close.

It is alleged that an officer sustained facial injuries during the incident and the teenager was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker.

He was further arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs after officers seized cocaine and heroin.

The boy was interviewed, charged and remanded to appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court yesterday.

 

Mining company Anglo American has announced that it is to slow work on a mining project that aimed to bring hundreds of jobs to North Yorkshire and Teesside.

Anglo American - which is battling a £34bn takeover approach from rivals BHP Billiton - took on the Woodsmith project near Whitby in 2020.

It aims to take natural mineral fertiliser from underneath the North York Moors National Park before transporting it via an underground conveyor system to Redcar where it will be exported to global markets.

But in a statement to the Stock Exchange in which it outlined plans to simplify its operations to concentrate on copper and iron ore production, the company said it would “slow” work on the massive development this year and cut capital investment in the site in 2026.

The company said the mine had “long term potential” but that it would be carrying out studies next year to determine its future.
