A teenager was arrested and a bike seized as part of a crackdown on nuisance off-road bikers in a North East town.

Cleveland Police sprang into action when they saw an off-roader being ridden down Corby Avenue, in the Ayresome area of Middlesbrough on Friday night.

He was interviewed and bailed while enquiries continue.
