Two people have been arrested after concerns were raised about a two-year-old girl who later died in hospital.

Cleveland Police were called to Hartington Close in Thornaby, on Teesside, at about 16:20 BST on Saturday after the concerns about the child were reported.

The girl was then taken from the area to hospital where she passed away.

Officers have arrested a 25-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man in connection with the child’s death after launching an investigation into the death, which they said is “currently being treated as unexplained”.
