A man has been charged in connection with an alleged robbery at a Sainsbury's store in Redcar.

The incident occurred at the Sainsbury’s Local store on Larkswood Road, at around 8:50am on Tuesday morning when a man entered the store and allegedly made threats with a blade.

Police have confirmed no one was injured in the incident.

A 22-year-old year old man appeared at Teesside Magistrates Court yesterday.

Suspected class A drugs have been seized after an 18-year-old woman was stopped and searched by neighbourhood officers in Middlesbrough.

The woman was stopped on Victoria Road on Tuesday and was found in possession of suspected class A drugs, a large amount of cash and drugs paraphernalia.

She was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and has been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue.

Work on a critical access point for the Teesworks site has ramped up, with a new roundabout now beginning to take shape.

The £4.5million Eston Road roundabout scheme will open up access to the Dorman Point area of the site, which will also become home to the proposed North East Energy Recovery Facility.

As well as the new roundabout, the major works include a further £1million project to divert major utilities, including high voltage electric cables and the water supply, with two major culverts constructed at Holme Beck.

The scheme will also see Eston Road widened, with a new footpath and cycleway along the eastern side of the road, providing pedestrian access where there previously was none.
