Overview

• Petrol bombs and other accelerants were used to ignite vehicles and properties across Stockton for a second consecutive night, with fires reported on Windmill Terrace, Piper Knowle Road and Newton Walk.
• Residents on Windmill Terrace were advised by officers to evacuate hours before a petrol bomb caused fire damage to a front door and smoke infiltration inside the house.
• Four suspects—including three men in their late 20s and a 15-year-old boy—remain in custody on suspicion of arson with intent after arrests linked to the first night’s incidents.
• Cleveland Police confirmed no injuries and said detectives are keeping an open mind on connections between the latest blazes and those on June 1, while continuing reassurance patrols.
• Cleveland Fire Brigade crews used hose reels, breathing apparatus and positive pressure ventilators to extinguish each blaze and are working with police as both services seek public information.
