Middlesbrough Police

Policing in the heart of your neighbourhood 👮🏼‍♂️💙

PCs Hollinshead and Bajec from Middlesbrough NPT were delighted to attend the town’s Parkville Care Centre when they hosted an emergency services’ Blue Light day this week.

They enjoyed speaking with residents and staff and made sure they asked them about any issues they were experiencing in the local area.

Our officers were pleased to learn that the centre plans to invite Cleveland Police to their future community meetings where other local partners including Middlesbrough Council will be present.

We’re sure this will help strengthen the relationship between police, partners and the more vulnerable members of our community and help us work together to identify any problem areas which need targeting.

Thank you for having them and see you again soon!

Millward was spotted by plain-clothed Proactive Team officers carrying out a drugs transaction on Egmont Road around 9:25pm on Saturday 28th March, and made off from police when challenged; dropping his pedal cycle and leading police on a short foot pursuit to Marton Road, where he was arrested near to the Longlands Hotel.

Officers searching the area found 44 wraps of crack co***ne which had been dumped in a garden nearby.

Cash and phones were also seized when Millward was searched.
