A teenager found with what police described as a "Rambo-style" knife has been arrested.

The 18-year-old was a passenger in a car stopped by police at Birchington Avenue in Grangetown, near Middlesbrough, in the early hours of Wednesday.

He is due to appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court having been charged with possession of a knife in a public place and intent to supply Class A drugs.

The driver of the car, a 44-year-old man, was also arrested after failing a roadside drugs test and being found not to have a valid driving licence.

Cleveland Police also said a 33-year-old man had been arrested and was in custody after a BMW was stopped in Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough, on Thursday.

Two large knives and suspected Class A drugs were found, the force said.

The man failed a drugs test and the vehicle was found to be uninsured.
