Jury Shown CCTV in Middlesbrough Murder Trial Over 'Ferocious' Car Ambush

Prosecutors say the attack sprang from a drugs dispute orchestrated by an armed team.

Overview

  • Jurors viewed the security video Tuesday as prosecutors said it showed the defendants block a VW Passat and rush the car.
  • The footage from November 2025 at Orme Court in North Ormesby appeared to show windows smashed and machetes thrust at two men trapped inside.
  • Prosecutors cite a shouted demand for "gear" and a pellet gun as signs of a drugs dispute driving a planned team attack.
  • The Crown says a Chevrolet 4x4 rammed the Passat, was later burned in woods near Potto, and two suspects were arrested in Northern Ireland after a stop in Scotland.
  • Anthony Lee Dickons died on November 15 from a severe leg wound, Stephen Law survived with cuts, and all five defendants deny murder and wounding with intent.
