Major search in Ingleby Barwick near river for 13-year-old boy
Cleveland Police have appealed for information about Mylo Capilla, who was last seen at around 9pm on Thursday in an area known as the 'Muddies' in Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, near the River Tees.
A large search of the area, which is close to Ramsey Gardens, has been carried out since then involving the emergency services.
Cleveland Police said Mylo was believed to be wearing a dark T-shirt and dark bottoms.
The force urged members of the public who want to help to first speak to officers.
In a Facebook post, the force said: 'While searches are ongoing, officers are reminding members of the public in the area to liaise with them directly and for their own safety not to enter any water.
'If you have information that will assist officers please call 101 quoting reference number 117649.'
More than 12 hours after the alarm was raised, the police helicopter continued to fly over a short span of the Tees.
A police cordon was in place on Ramsey Gardens, around 200m from the river, to keep the public away from the search area.
Cleveland Fire and Rescue Service and mountain rescue search specialists were also on the scene.
One local said the Muddies is a large area stretching along the riverbank and it is a known place for children and young people to play.

Police divers called in search for schoolboy, 13, who vanished near river - after frantic overnight bid to find him
Police divers have been seen searching a river after a 13-year-old boy vanished last night. Mylo Capilla was last seen at around 9pm last night, near Ingleby Barwick, wearing a dark t-shirt and trousers. Mylo is believed to have gone with his friend to the river near to Ramsey Gardens, known locally as the 'muddies', and entered the water. A major search operation was launched as five ambulances, a specialist Water Rescue Unit, mountain rescue crews, police officers and search dogs rushed to the scene at Ramsey Gardens yesterday evening. The housing estate, near the River Tees, has since been cordoned off as they continue to search for the young boy into the early hours of this morning.

Cleveland Police Assistant Chief Constable Dave Sutherland said: 'Since the report at 9pm last night (Thursday 26 June 2025), officers have been conducting extensive searches throughout the night to try and find Mylo. 'These searches are continuing this morning with specialist teams including the police drone and dogs alongside support from Cleveland Fire Brigade, National Police Air Service, marine water and mountain rescue. 'This is understandably hugely distressing for Mylo's family, friends and the wider community. 'While I know members of the public want to help, I would ask you not to search near the river for your own safety and to allow specialist teams to conduct this work in their profession 'Instead, can I please ask you to speak directly to an officer at the scene. 'We are doing all we can to find Mylo and I would ask anyone who has information to please get in touch by calling 101.' Last night, Police have urged members of the public helping to locate Mylo to avoid the river, and to scour the streets in pairs instead. Speaking to Teesside Live, a local said there were dozens of residents tirelessly searching for the 13-year-old boy. 'You can see them all in groups of like five or six. There's men and women, some of them are in their dressing gowns,' they said. Speaking last night, a Cleveland Police spokesperson said: 'Officers are appealing for information that will help them find Mylo Capilla who has been reported missing. 'The 13-year-old boy was last seen at 9pm on Thursday 26 June at the 'Muddies' on Ramsey Gardens in Ingleby Barwick. 'Mylo is believed to be wearing a dark t-shirt and dark bottoms.'

Moment red-faced ‘flytipper' gets instant karma when farmer turns detective to ‘return mound of rubbish'
WATCH the satisfying moment a farmer seemingly gets revenge on alleged flytippers as he returns their rubbish. The farmer is said to have tracked down the alleged fly-tipper after she left boxes on his land. 4 4 4 In a rookie error, the 'flytipper' failed to notice that her address was still left on the boxes. Taking the opportunity to exact revenge, land manager Graeme Upton went to her postcode, where he then recognised the car. He filmed himself dumping the rubbish back on her front garden. According to Graeme, the woman had apparently gone to the effort of driving 25 miles to dump her boxes on Graeme's land - leaving her none-too-pleased to have it returned to her. Graeme said in a Facebook post, that he had first noticed the woman idling in a car on his property in Redhill, Surrey when he was moving bales of wheat. When asked what she was doing, he claims she said she was only stopping "for a wee". It was only after she'd driven off that Graeme noticed the pile of cupboard dumped on the ground at the edge of his field. Graeme explained the backstory as part of a video showing him returning the boxes to the woman. In the video, Graeme can be seen knocking on the woman's door and pointing out the familiar car. A man answers and says he hadn't been driving the car when the rubbish was allegedly dumped. Graeme then begins to sarcastically explain the situation to the man, beginning "It's a bit bizarre". He says: "While she was having a wee, all of this stuff clearly fell out of the car and it's got your address on it." The man then goes back into the house before telling them to "drop it all there", pointing at his driveway. Graeme and another man then begin dumping loads of boxes from their van onto the drive. As a woman leaves the house, Graeme says: "I bet you didn't think you'd see me again quite so quick. "I'm just returning what was dropped off in my gateway." As Graeme and his friend leave, he adds: "That's all yours. "A word of advice, make sure you take off your postcode." He wrote: ' The silly cow had left loads of delivery boxes with a post code on and hadn't made a good job of cutting out the address on some boxes or her name !!! 'So I punched the post code into sat nav and lo and behold it took me to her house. 'So myself and two neighbours then collected their rubbish and returned it. They weren't so happy.' In the video, the woman who left her cardboard boxes on Graeme's property stood by her husband, both with their arms crossed and shaking their heads as they watched the rubbish be returned to them.
