Crime in Brotton, Redcar and Cleveland

We have been carrying out increased patrols of Byland Road and its surrounding streets to deter and detect antisocial behaviour. We have identified and tackled youths who we find responsible. This includes issuing ASB warning notices and in some cases making written agreements with families. The local housing association is also taking its own actions in tandem with police. In one recent case, a property was closed on Rievaulx Road after regular complaints from residents. We encourage residents to report antisocial behaviour to police by calling 101.
We will continue to patrol and address this issue, taking positive action where we can.

There is ongoing enforcement against addresses where we believe drugs activity to be taking place. Along with the local authority ASB Team and housing provider, we are carrying out drugs warrants and in some cases, achieving property closure orders. We are also issuing community protection notices (CPNs) whenever that is appropriate.

We have recovered multiple vehicles in recent months, after finding them being driven or parked illegally. We will continue to act on information from the public about vehicles found to be untaxed, uninsured or otherwise without the correct legal documents.
