"The violence and criminality in Middlesbrough today has been appalling and we will not tolerate it.
"Cleveland Police has again been outstanding in its response to the violent disorder, with our dedicated officers putting themselves in harm's way to protect the public and apprehend those responsible for this mindless behaviour.
"These people do not represent Middlesbrough. They are thugs who are intent on causing violent disorder, harm and fear in our communities.
"Their message of hate and division will fail. Now, more than ever we will come together across Cleveland to unite in a spirit of solidarity and togetherness.
"Our diversity is our strength and we will prevail."
