Police have arrested a man in connection with a report of an aggravated burglary in Redcar.

The incident was reported to have happened on the evening of Monday, 30th August, on Queen Street, when a man, who was reportedly in possession of a knife, attended a property and demanded cash.

He entered the property and another man followed him in, also in possession of a knife.

The suspects left the address with four air soft type weapons, an iPhone 11 and a Sony Experia mobile phone.

A 20-year-old man from the Redcar area was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary yesterday and he was taken into police custody.

A man was arrested after being located by a police dog following a report of a burglary in South Bank.

The report was made around 1:55am on Sunday, at a business premises on Sotherby Road.

On arrival, a police dog located a 40-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of burglary and has since been released under investigation, whilst enquiries continue.

Redcar and Cleveland residents will be able to have their unwanted bulky items removed by the council once again from next Tuesday.

Bulky waste collection services - along with garden waste services - were suspended in July due to Covid-related staffing issues.

Garden waste collections resumed during August, and now, the council are pleased to announce the resumption of bulky waste collections too, with appointments available for booking from Tuesday 7th.

Residents are able to dispose of bulky items free of charge by taking them to the Dunsdale Recycling Centre; however, if this is not possible, council collections can be arranged for a charge by ringing 01642 774774.
