August has seen violent brutes, paedophiles and a teenage arsonist who set fire to the wrong door jailed at Teesside's courts.

Middlesbrough drug dealer Dale Hamilton kidnapped his own driver and threatened to shoot the man's children if he didn't hand over hundreds of pounds. He also told an ex-police officer he would be "folded in half" if he didn't pay him £1,400.

While spurned stalker Gary Enticknap, 49, sent repeated messages to a woman claiming he was dead after she refused a second date. He threatened to share an intimate photo of her and said he couldn't "get rid of the urge to hurt her."

Here's the names, faces and stories behind the 35 criminals who have been locked up in August in Teesside and the surrounding area:
