We are appealing to trace 18-year-old Curtis Farry as our officers would like to speak with him in connection with reports of offences which include two serious assaults and two burglaries between May and August.
We’re appealing for information and any relevant local doorbell, dash cam or private CCTV footage after reports of attempted burglaries and thefts from vehicles on the Saffron Gardens estate in Coulby Newham, Middlesbrough, specifically on Carson Place.
PCSOs Brown and Simpson from Coulby Newham Neighbourhood Police Team were delighted to attend Askham Bryan College as part of their ongoing community engagement work.
A 24-year-old man was charged and remanded to appear at court today (Thursday 5th March) after we were notified at around 6pm yesterday that a man on an electric motorbike was believed to be dealing drugs in the Thorntree area of Middlesbrough.
We’re urging parents and carers to speak to their children about the dangers of throwing stones at moving vehicles after a car’s passenger sustained serious facial injuries in an incident in Middlesbrough last night (Sunday 1st March).
