Video summary

The video transcript centers on a tragic and complex series of events involving a fatal police chase on the A66 road near Middlesbrough, UK, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and five young men in a Volkswagen Passat. The incident was sparked by alleged gang-related turf wars, specifically following a "ram raid" where suspects drove a vehicle through the front door of a teenager's home just forty minutes before the fatal collision. The narrator expresses deep shock over the high-speed nature of the pursuit, noting that the police car appeared to be driving on the wrong side of the road and seemingly engaging in a dangerous game of chicken with the suspects, a tactic he argues is highly irregular and risky for law enforcement. As the investigation unfolds, authorities have arrested seventeen individuals in connection with the incident, including those charged with organized crime, firearm possession, and making threats. The transcript highlights disturbing details about the victims' social media presence, revealing that some of the deceased were filmed engaging in reckless driving and posting content that glorified dangerous behavior for clout. This raises significant questions about whether social media platforms incentivize such extreme actions by young people seeking attention. Additionally, the narrator discusses the broader cultural context of gang activity in the region, where rival groups often engage in violent property damage and intimidation, suggesting that the crash was not an isolated accident but part of a larger criminal enterprise. The tragedy has been compounded by further loss of life, with a separate house fire occurring shortly after the crash that claimed at least two more lives, including a young child. Police have stated they cannot rule out a link between the arson and the wider organized crime group involved in the A66 incident, leading to fears of a coordinated attack or retaliation. The narrator reflects on the devastating impact on the tight-knit community of Middlesbrough, where many emergency responders and residents know each other personally. He also critiques how news outlets and social media often sensationalize these events, potentially glorifying the criminals involved while overshadowing the grief of the families and the sacrifice of the fallen officers. Ultimately, the video serves as a somber examination of the intersection between street crime, organized gangs, and modern digital culture. The narrator emphasizes that while investigations are ongoing to determine exactly what led to the crash, the sequence of events suggests a deliberate escalation involving multiple criminal factions. He calls for a balanced approach to understanding the situation, acknowledging the role of social media in promoting dangerous behavior without dismissing the reality of violent gang conflicts. The conclusion underscores the profound heartbreak felt by the community as they mourn nine lives lost in a matter of days, urging viewers to respect the grieving families and recognize the severity of the circumstances that led to this unprecedented tragedy.

TL, what's popping? We are on Twitch. We are not live, but you can leave a like, comment, subscribe, turn on post notification bells. Let's continue to grow the uh family from Chicago to the UK. Right behind me, you see it. Warning screen. I think this is a touchy, sensitive subject. Um, from the titles of these videos, this might be touchy to the streets and it might be touchy to it's definitely touchy to the officers involved and the innocent families that were involved who lost loved ones, but um, twitch.com is where you can catch a live stream and YouTube usernames at the bottom of the screen. We also got Patreon Monday through Sunday. Premier League has started back up. We are on time. Everything is up to date. Go lock in. go look over it, go see if there's anything that you want to, you know, view. Um, just uh that's in the description below. Man, this is the A66 incident and what it was sparked over allegedly. We're going to cover a few videos. One, two, three, four, five, six. And I really want to know y'all comments on this. Um, this is where I really get into my bouncer, my DJ academics type energy because there's a lot of stuff to unpack here. Keep in mind, I know nothing at this moment. I know there was an accident from a police chase. Two officers passed away. Five suspects passed away. There was a car crash into a house. A house rammed. Um, and I don't want to allege anything, so I just want to look at the videos and of course give my commentary on what like how I'm connecting it. You know what I'm saying? So, let's get into this, man. So, I guess we'll start with the oldest video I have from three days ago. This from Sky News. Uh, let's check it out. Let's bring in our correspondent, Katie Barfield, who's in Middlesbrough for us. And Katie, we now know the identities of the five in the car, the Volkswagen Pat. >> So, it's a Volkswagen Pat. Okay. Normal vehicle. >> We do indeed. that update just within the last half hour from Cleveland police confirming the names and the ages of all of the five people who were in the Volkswagen Patat um at the time who lost their lives in this deadly crash as their pat uh careered head on into a police car that was being driven uh by >> head on into a popo car. I was literally just before she said that I was wondering like how did all five like I feel like that's a god forbid it happens to anybody but I feel like it's a rarity for everybody to you know what I'm saying [snorts] and guaranteed at least two maybe at least one one of those people in that car didn't want to be there 100% that's normally how it go like dang there's one person in there that just went off Peter pressure at least. That's that's messed up. >> PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Kluff who also was being driven in this deadly crash as their pass uh careered head on into a police car that was being driven uh by PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Kluff who >> and I see like during head like high-speed police chases like it's like we watch a lot of police chase videos, you know what I'm saying? So like this is a serious subject. We watch a lot of police chase videos on this on this channel. It's a it's rare that I see I've never seen actually I'm not saying it's not possible, but I've never seen a police car willing to play chicken with the suspects. I've never seen it. Never seen it. I don't think I've ever seen it. Like that's high risk. That's too high risk. Like nobody's coming out of that. That's messed man. Keep going. >> Also died. We now know that all of the occupants of the Volkswagen pass were male. They were all either teenagers uh or in their early 20s. I'll just run through the names of them. Uh again, Michael Robert Cahill was 23. >> I'm going guess this is Michael Roberts Cahill. Theo Ray who was 17, Cole Robert Worthy who was 16 years old, Jacob Matusiaak who was 23, and Mai Saddington who was 18. Now an incredibly sad day. >> That's messed up. These two are full grown men. Still got their frontal lobe undeveloped, so they can't they make rash and stupid decisions. But I don't know, man. These dudes are super young up here >> for the community around here. This is a very tight-knit community in this part of the northeast. And all day we've watched people coming to lay flowers and tributes uh both for the police officers who lost their lives and also for the people who died uh in the Volkswagen pass out. Some of the balloons uh behind me here have been left for Michael who of course uh is one of the people Michael Cahill who lost his life in the pass out. Several notes have been written uh in memory of the people who lost their lives. We've also seen a couple of police officers in uniform coming to lay flowers and pay tribute. >> My initial thought was why why were both of them driving or was one sitting still and one just was going like boom and hit him. Like what? Like what? Like I need more info cuz I just don't see the police playing that type of game with anybody. No, nobody. I don't see that. I don't see that ever being a tactic of the police in no country like that. I don't see it. So, I just need more like I need more. I need to know what happened. >> Their colleagues. Now, the investigation here is still ongoing as well. There is still a large section of the A66 that's closed behind me at the moment while police continue their investigations. We've been watching over the past 24 hours. police forensics teams coming in combing through uh the debris from that crash. We saw a car being moved on uh by a recovery team yesterday uh evening. So they >> had to be a devastating crash like it had to be stuff like parts everywhere from the vehicles >> will be continuing their work uh to piece together their investigation. There also is an investigation simultaneously ongoing uh by the independent office for police conduct. standard in any case where there are deaths, where the police are involved. >> And that's going to be important because that ties into my line of questioning. Was the police sitting there or were they really playing that game of chicken? Because that cannot be standard protocol in any office across the UK. So, it leads me to like I just don't like that would be shocking if they did that. That's what I'm saying. They will be wanting to look not just at the crash itself, but in the moments leading up to that and the decisions that were made. We understand that PC Blades and PC Kluff were not invol involved directly in the pursuit of the Volkswagen pass as it hit them. Well, it was driving the wrong way down the A66, but that other teams of officers had been >> Oh, he was driving the wrong way down the A66. I thought it was like for some reason I'm thinking it's like a like a one of those thin roads and you got to pull over and they just No, this is okay. You were literally on the wrong side of the road. So, we've seen that in a lot of police chases. But what time did this occur? Hold on. Okay, because I have to go get a look at the road. It is a dual carriageway. It is separated by a clear median, but I do do I do know for sure whatever it takes in a criminal's mind to get away, they're gonna do. They're going to put themselves at high risk so the police can back off. And from this, here's the Volkswagen right here. Crunched. Crunched. Devastating. Had to ignite. Police cars flipped over from Van. I know the police car stopped and it's had a bend. This is a bend in the road, too. But I'm wondering if like they got to this. No, this is a long bend. So maybe this car was the Volkswagen was gone, gone, gone. And they probably didn't see each other, but the police knew cuz they're on comms. They knew what was happening. Maybe it just they didn't expect her to be that close. And I'm pretty sure that Volkswagen came around this corner and didn't know that that car was the police car is right there cuz this is a crazy bend. Like you going at speeds that would do this to your car. It had to be super fast. Had to be. [clears throat] That's that's crazy. And the fact that these officers are over here having a cup of coffee, like get off the scene of the crime. Get go home. Go sit in your car and do that. I'll be taking stuff like this as disrespect lowkey, but but whatever. That car. So, the IOPC will be wanting to look at the decisions that were made, often split-second decisions, of course, in a high-speed pursuit like this. Uh they'll be wanting to look at the communication uh between officers and >> was that it cuz this looked different this road >> possibly whether there was any communication uh with PC Blades and PC cloth. >> Was that picture I pulled up the correct one? Cuz that it kind of look a little bit different >> as well. So the investigations uh are continuing here. What we don't know at the moment is the circumstances of the crash. Although we have been told the names uh and the ages of the occupants, we haven't been given any details about the circumstances that led uh to this impact other than Cleveland police saying uh that family liaison officers are continuing to support the families of everybody who lost their lives. >> Katie, we had that emotional uh statement from the chief constipal of Cleveland police, Victoria Fuller, yesterday. Just give us a depth, the sense of emotion as well even today within the local community. Yeah, you could just hear it, couldn't you, in the Chief Constable Victoria Fuller's voice as she named the two police officers who had lost their lives yesterday, visibly and audibly uh emotional as she named them. Uh she spoke about having visited their families personally uh to break the news to them, which we can imagine must have been very difficult, particularly as Cleveland police is quite a small force and quite a tight-knit community around here. I spoke also to the local police and crime commissioner, Matt Sto. >> We've seen This is not a um this is not like an isolated incident in Middlesborough either. There's a ton of police chases in Middlesborough. This is Middlesboro like just from my research on our own on this channel. Middlesboro, they have a lot of police chases. Like we they're they're in they're I I follow their police force like on YouTube. like I follow their channel because I know they're going to have something >> very early and he was talking about that about how it is a small area. It is a close-knit area. It's likely that many of the officers and also many of the other emergency services uh who worked here uh may have known each other. So, this will be a loss really felt hard uh in the cle Cleveland police community, but also in the wider community here. Plenty of people who've come down to lay flowers said this is the kind of community where everybody knows each other. So, this is like the beginning of the site because the road is closed. So, that picture that I showed could be the road, but y'all I'm pretty sure y'all going to let me know 100%. Yeah, I just went back and looked at the article. That's that's the road >> talks to each other. So, it will be very deeply felt. >> All right. And this is the BBC News coverage. This from two days ago. So, >> hello. I'm Lucy Hawings. Welcome BBC News. Now, we start with some breaking news from here in the UK this hour. Cleveland police says it has arrested uh 12 people that is in connection with a head-on car crash on the A66 dual carriageway on Saturday which killed seven people including >> Wait, 12 people was arrested. So were 12 people initially committing a crime? So were were 17 people initially committing a crime and then five hopped in the whip and ran off or something? ing two police officers. The police are launching a widescale investigation into what they say is the criminality which took place. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's the part that I heard. Okay. The criminality in America, we got something called a Rico. The whole gang going down and because of there was a loss of life and there were officers involved that loss of life. Oh, everybody. It's a it's it's done in about three years. Middlesboro is going to be a place they go that's going to be the the best place to live. Ain't going to be no crime. It's over with >> prior to the fatal crash is the criminality which took place prior to >> Okay. So, what happened prior to it? >> Let's take you to our reporter Philipper GMA who joins us uh now. Philipper, just bring us up to date. So on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, Cleveland police received reports of two vehicles being driven dangerously in the local area in the northeast of England. The first vehicle was a Volvo and that was ramming properties in a town called Middlesbrough. The second vehicle, a Volkswagen >> ramming properties >> sat is believed to have been associated with the activities of that Volvo XC60. Now, >> number plate recognition cameras picked up that these two cars were using clone plates. The Volvo had been involved in the initial reports has been traced and recovered in Middlesbrough as part of this investigation. Police inquiries have resulted in 12 people being arrested across T-side. Nine men and three women aged between 19 and 61 have been ranging >> 19 and yeah, they got everybody. Somebody's snitching. All they need is one person to snitching. Everybody's going down. aged between 19 and 61 have been arrested on multiple offenses ranging from possession of a firearm to participating in the activities of an organized crime group. And the police have also pointed out that at this current time there is no evidence to suggest that filming of the activities that took place on Friday and sat Friday night and Saturday morning has taken place for the purposes of Tik Tok and that four of the occupants of the Pat for who died had previous police convictions. >> Here's my thing. I'm pretty sure the town and its residents have been complaining for years about this stuff that's been going on. And I'm pretty sure the policing was, you know, spotty to say best. All right, let's let's go check it out. Let's show our presence. All right, we've done our job. Let's chill for a little bit. All right, let's put some AMPRs up. Let's let's let's let's make the residents feel a little bit comfortable. But boom, as soon as them officers RIP, too. Now, let's say that first and foremost. But as soon as those officers pass away and and anything that could be related to street, oh, it's over. Now it's ramped up maximum. What happened to the preventative measures that could have prevented any of this? Like I'm just speaking from the outside looking in. I I'm I'm just taking a educated guess of how this neighborhood probably went. >> And that is the latest update on the incident on the A66 that happened near Middlesbrough in the early hours of Saturday morning. 12 people arrested. >> Thank you, sir. >> So, seven people passed away, 12 people arrested. much. Well, as we've heard, the government has told social media companies, including Tik Tok, to take content down that shows dangerous driving. Our senior technology reporter >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> Sha McCullum uh joins uh spoke to us earlier. >> I'm pretty sure only posted by the police though. It can only be posted by the police. Dangerous driving has existed for a long time, but the problem is now you're able to film it, post it, and potentially reach a huge audience with the algorithm. And there's a growing concern about these videos that are showing young people fleeing the police, young people going up the wrong side of the street and showing reckless behavior. And I think what's now the question is that is social media the incentive for doing more and more extreme types of driving because people are getting likes, they're getting shares. Uh and they're being known for either being cooler or notorious on >> You know what this reminds me of? When it when drill music first started in Chicago and then the internet came and made it so much more. So now I'm on the internet. I could drop a song dissing this person and this person and this person and you going to get it and a bunch of people going to like it and it's going to piss you off. It's kind of similar. It's kind of similar. I I will say that it would be tragic if they took that off. I mean, it wouldn't be tragic. It would be it I can't even say they wrong in this because I'll be I'm I'm here. I watched them. I watched them. I react. I but I I watch mostly police's videos though. You know what I'm saying? Like the ones the police and the news post. But I can't I will say like that's probably she's on to something. That's what I said. I said, man, bro, putting this on the news, the police putting this on their channel, putting it everywhere. like y'all just y'all doing nothing but boosting their ego like like we going we popping out every Saturday. I don't think this was that case [sighs] because of all the other evidence that I've heard like gang land ramming houses ops doing this this and the third. I think they was just doing they was on some they was on some other stuff allegedly, but I don't think this is the case. But I think a lot of the time, yeah, clout is very dangerous. Let's put it up for clout. Let's get the likes. Boom, boom, boom. You know, >> line. And that's why the government has asked Tik Tok and other social media platforms [clears throat] today to take down any content that celebrates dangerous driving. We've heard from the prime minister, Andy Bernham, speaking in Kiev in the last few minutes. He says that the glorification of dangerous driving for clicks and entertainment is truly reprehensible. Um, >> yeah, we're not here for glorification. We're here for educational purposes. We're here to kind of thwart that >> exposure to this kind of mater material needs to be taken down. There is the online safety act which Ofcom uh pursues and tries to get this type of material taken down. >> Salute to you. But I feel like I do something different. Um it's rare that I have somebody like somebody's material from there and it's just posted on their channel and I watch it. I normally go to the police channels and watch or like BBC News. They've put the police up and there the other footage. So listen, no matter what, that footage is going to be obtained. There's a lay there is a layer of protection on social media, but sometimes it gets through and even if it's there for a slight second, somebody has screenshot it, screen recorded it, put it somewhere, the news be on that same thing. They be scouring looking for that type of stuff too to put in their report. So, I mean, it's it's still going to get there. And let's not act like the news these big these big news stations are not perpetuating it, too. Because if I'm a criminal and I see y'all talking about me on the news and I see my clip, boy, I'm lit. Just put your I'm putting myself in the mind of a criminal. Oh, I made it to BBC News. Oh, what we on next week. It's y'all, too. Don't think it's not. Before it was social media, it was the news, man. Y'all see me on the news? Y'all see me on channel five, man. I was Come on. Let's not act like that wasn't a thing. Don't pretend. But remember, if you're old enough, remember before social media, if you was like that back in the day, remember? Oh, man. I Hey, Channel News, Fox 32. Yeah. Like, let's not act like the news wasn't always doing this. Don't get up here and have that that attitude. I get what you're saying. Like social media, this this and the third, but BBC News, the mirror, all y'all going to do it anyway regardless. So, I hear you. I agree kind of. But I also will say don't act innocent. Don't call. Don't. Isn't to me it's like a Isn't that calling the T pedal kettle black type situation? Y'all going to do it too. The news been doing it. How you think we got the the the rhythm? It's the same. We just cut the not not we. My bad. Let me take myself out of there. They just cut the middleman out. Gave it direct to consumer. But let's not pretend like y'all don't perpetuate and Y'all don't glorify it. Y'all don't do this and that, but y'all definitely put it up for clicks. It's 2026 or views or or or surges back before internet, however you want to watch it. All right, so this is the mirror. This is 15 hours ago. A66 crash sparked my turf war after home of teen victim dad ram raided before. Whoa. Hold on. Five more arrests have been made in connection with the A66 crash near middle A66 crash was sparked by turf war after home of teen victim. So, one of the teens that passed away, his home, no after home of teen victim dad ram raided before deadly crash. After home of teen victim's dad. Oh, so one of the teens dad ram somebody's house. What's ram rated? cuz I know what RAM is and I know what raid it is. So what did they Ram then raid one of the like teen victim's dad's house? Oh, so one of the Okay, I get it. So one of these victims dad's house got rammed by the ops. It got rammed and then raided. I think that's what that mean. But that I I think I got the first part for sure. One of these teens that passed away, one of their father's home got raided by a right that like got rammed by a rival gang. Okay, I'll read what's behind me. A 16. Let's mute the music, man. They throwing me off. A 16-year-old boy and two men aged 18 and 21 were arrested on suspicion of participating in an organized crime group. Okay, I think I can go up top for this. Let me Yeah, let me go up here. Get out your way. Oh. Oh. A 55 year old man has been held on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 23 year old man was arrested on suspicion of making threats to all five remain in custody bringing the total number of arrest in connection with the investigation to 17. Coleworthy 17 was one of the teenagers in the crash. Coleworthy forever in our hearts. Join us as we come together to celebrate the life of Cole. Remember happy times and release balloons in his honor. Balloon release. Everyone is welcome to come. RP Cole, man. RP Cole. Oh, so this was his dad. Wait, his the house that got rammed, his father's house was allegedly ram raided at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, just 40 minutes before the devastating incident. Oh, wow. So, that happened at 3:40 a.m. Oh, it was dark outside then. Ram rated. So, they ram this door. Did they Let me see what ram rated means, man. Hold on. Ram rated. A ram a ram raid is a crime where thieves drive a stolen vehicle directly through the front window or door of a store to break in and steal items. Wow. So this is what I Okay, so this is what I expected. So Cole's dad's house, where Cole probably lays his head every night to rest, got rammed by a vehicle and then suspects came into his home. That's what ram rated means, right? 40 minutes prior. Okay. Okay. Let y'all want to know where I'm at right now with it. After Cole got that information, Cole made a phone call. Either Cole was home or Cole made a phone call. This is already an existence be existing beef. They hate each other. Whoever they ops is, they don't like each other. Ram raiding somebody house is insane. This means you don't care about the consequences. You don't care about CCTV. You don't care about [snorts] what comes with your actions. So this is a beef that's deep. So when they did this, they instantly had to spin probably allegedly, called up the boys, mobilized. It is alleged that the Volvo X6 was used and that in that vehicle is now central to the police investigation into the tragedy. Okay. A vehicle deliberately reversed in into the front window twice, causing extensive damage, according to those living close to the scene. Yeah, it ain't that bad damage. I ain't going to lie. This home built pretty pretty good. If this wasn't protruding out like this, it would be more damage if it was just like that. Oh, the brick is cracked though. Yeah, they're probably going to have to take all of this out and redo everything cuz this brick brick is cracked right here for sure. Old windows busted out everything. Within minutes, the Volkswagen pating got who how do you say his name? Ge worthy son Cole and four friends was caught on CCTV racing at between 80 to 100 miles per hour down Lime Road in Tesville pursued by three police vehicles. So, was guy was Cole even home or did he just immediately call the guys, hop in the car, or was he even home? Is this a case of ma'am, they they plan, we can't catch him. Let's go X, Y, and Z to his pop's house. What? Which? All five passengers were when the Volkswagen Pat going the wrong way down the A66 hit a Cleveland police armed response vehicle. heading in the opposite direction at 3:39. Dang, it's only 40 minutes 39 minutes later. Two police officers, PC Matthew Blade, 37, and PC Tom Cloth, 38, were also in the collision. RIP to both of these officers, man. And the line of duty is tough. Um, prayers up to the families, prayers up to the kids. Um, that's tough. There is no suggestion that Gworthy 39, a company director, was involved in any criminal activities, but the attack on his home appeared to be the flash point for the chase between rival. Yeah. See, here we go. It just it just makes me wonder, was his son Cole already outside? And how old was Cole? Did they say we at 141? How old is Cole? How old is Cole, y'all? 17. Okay, so 17, man. You very impressionable. Could probably be outside at this time. And it's Saturday. Yeah, he was definitely outside. Videos online show used in Middlesbor wearing bllo clouds and setting off flares and fireworks and a noisy tribute to the five following the crash. A gang of around 20 mass use on motorbikes and quad bikes roared around the field in an honorer in honor of Jacob Mataus Matasic 23 who had convictions for motoring offenses. The scene sparked fury and in social media. First and foremost, I don't like the fact that they just called this a gang. It could be, it could not. But the fact that they went with the latter, like, can't we remain neutral and not, you know what I'm saying, point the finger to this being a gang? This just might be the culture around there. Like, I've been to the UK, people ride motorbikes in the in the areas like [snorts] that just that's just the culture, the vibe. That's like in Florida, too. They they ride motorbikes. That's that's just how it is. It is what it is. Oh, my bad. And I know for sure this is like I live right now currently I live in an affluent neighborhood with a bunch of Caucasian kids that be on motorcycles, ballet claws with motor helmet like and I don't call them gang members. But please, it's out the mud. Y'all ain't never seen no trauma in y'all life. I know not to. [snorts] But I know I also know this a different area. But I just don't like seeing the word just because they got on ballet slavas they automatically like all right [clears throat] let's move on one commenter wrote I get it that their families and friends will be devastated and grieving but surely in circumstances where they have two innocent men who were simply out doing their job. You grieve in private. You can't tell nobody how to grieve. Period. Yes, they were in the wrong. [snorts] Innocent people passed away, but you never tell nobody how to grieve. That's just like a rule of thumb. We all grieve differently. The fundraiser for the families of PC Tom Claw 38 and PC Matthew Blaze 37 near the 1 million mark. More than 900,000 has been pledged to two separate GoFundMe. Oh, that's what's up, man. I'm pretty sure they had some type of life insurance plus this GoFundMe plus whatever the um plus whatever the whatever you get for passing in the line of duty also. Like I'm pretty sure there's some cop police thing that they get also. So they going to be good. But that that doesn't equate to a life. And so once again, RIP This is from Manchester Evening News. Two in house fire sparking investigations with police not ruling out link to A66 crash. Dang. Yeah. Once once once there's like once in an unaliving occurs once people lose their lives [snorts] especially if you in a ging like everything going to get blamed on ops but y'all rammed this dad crib and I don't condone anything but Like every action has a reaction. It just gets wicked in this world. Especially in this gang world. Wait, there's reading at the bottom. Police have launched a mer and are understood not to be ruling out the links with the fatal on a66. Two people lost their lives in the fire in Burlington Avenue in Graange Town just after 5:00 a.m. today, Wednesday, August 26th. Dang. I've never seen so much consecutive loss of life in the UK. Like boom, this happens, boom, this happen. This reminds me of like like a little bit like mid 2000 like 2015 2012. The last time a woman in a hospital in critical condition with three people suffering life in the blaze happened about 2 miles from the scene of the crash on A66 last weekend and seven people that unlive seven people including two police officers. Cleveland police said they cannot rule out any links to wider organized crime at this point. No, they can't. What I tell you in a previous video, like it's a Rico. Everything's going to connect now. It's over. Everything's connecting. Let me move this to this side, man. I don't like it on this. But they going to connect everything possible. And if whoever did this get caught on CCTV, believe me, you part of the Rico. This is bad timing for you. Oh, they just going to show the house now. That's a number. How did this happen, though? So they think it's like not like a electrical candle type situation. Like wouldn't it be kind of simple to find out if it was like a what is it called with the the um cloth in the bottle or the gas? One of those. They just showing. Hope they got homeowners insurance, man. RIP to life lost there, too. But the police Yeah. Especially only a couple blocks. Yeah. They they they're tying all of us together. I think it when two officers pass away, if you in that life, that underworld life, it's time to lay low. It's time to go off the grid for a very long time. or or else you going to get 40 years. Keep playing. Nobody's sparing anybody. If you get caught doing anything like this, the judge is going to make an example. Okay, we get to hear them talk about it. >> Well, this small pocket of Middlesborough this evening suffering, reeling from yet more heartbreak in horrifying circumstances. Police only confirming in the last hour that two men have now been arrested in connection with what happened here. >> Oh, they got somebody. >> Oh, yeah. Y'all cooked. Not only is it arson, but don't let them tie you to either one of these affiliated gangs. You You're fried. It's over. >> On suspicion of murder, a 23y old. >> Oh, I forgot somebody passed away. Oh, yeah. We are ready for >> and a 31year-old. We know no more detail than that other than the fact that they are being held for questioning. It's been confirmed as you say that a child was killed and our understanding speaking to people locally here is that that child may be as young as just 7 years old. >> This blasphemy. >> The possibility that this may be linked to what happened on the A66 remaining tonight. A possibility. What is certain though is that within the matter of just a few days, nine lives have been lost here. Two of them. >> That's what I'm saying, bro. I ain't never seen that much devastation in the UK. Like that close. Nine is insane. >> Police officers. >> All right, Peter. >> And one of them a child. >> Nine. Nine. Wouldn't that be 10? Seven people on the A66, two adults in this house, a 28-year-old and a 31 year old, right? And a child. That's 10. Not that it matters. It's still like a a crazy number, but it is a scene from above that quickly conveys the horror of what happened here at around 5:00 a.m. this morning. The inferno so intense that much of the roof of the property collapsed in. But how how could this be how could this be a link to the A66? Like I don't get it. Like if you if you trying to do something like like this as a criminal and you trying to spin and get your get back or do something. I don't know what what ideas they have. Why would the roof be loc Why would the fire be located to just the top? Do I have access to your house? like >> burned away in minutes. The inside of the top floor scorched through. 20-year-old Ellie told me she helped raise the alarm before other neighbors tried to help rescue those inside. >> Shout out Ellie. >> Many she said it was just too hot. >> I threw the kids and everyone shouting and stuff and I just went down the road shouting everyone sideways and my friend and I knew I knew the woman. I ignore the the kids. >> That's what he say. >> We're all likely >> everyone. >> This is a serious video. So I'm not >> on this road. Well, anywhere on GR family but >> was talking about 11 nightmares. Ground down to earth. People don't know what's going on there. You must be devastating. >> No man, I don't I don't I don't think I don't I don't I don't think this is a part of that. I would have to see like the report the fire department report like because they're going to figure it out how it was started where where it where it started at all of that. So bubbling >> at the back of the property you can see a ladder up to the window and sections of fence have also been smashed down. Signs of a struggle clearly to try and get people out, but for two of them it was too late. fire crews remained here this afternoon. Their colleagues among those who will have gone in to help save lives in a brief, >> you know, at that time of night like what is it? You can't um smell is like one of those things like when you sleep like when you Okay, like let me let me give you an example. When you sleep and you dream like you peeing, you think it's just a dream, but it's in real life. Like smell is one of those things where you think you dreaming it like it don't it's not real. So you could be in a fully engulfed all of a sudden and then wake up finally like wait a minute. My brain was processing that differently than it normally would. You know what I'm saying? >> Statements issued >> that fire looked like it was burning for a minute before. online. Cleveland police confirmed their fears. Their suspicions are the same as many others. Their statement saying, "We are working to establish the circumstances of exactly what happened, but we're keeping an open mind and cannot rule out any links to wider organized crime. >> This is kind of getting repetitive." red car in Cleveland and adding our community her own statement urging people to avoid speculation and adding our community has faced a profound amount of heartbreak over the past few presence remains on site on the par >> Greg this is a desperate loss of life in what >> at the time two of our understanding is that there were six people in the property at the time two of them we know have sadly died a 48-year-old woman remains in hospital at Newcastle's RVI Hospital in a critical condition. Three others are described as suffering non-life-threatening injuries. We understand again locally not confirmed by police that two of those are teenage girls. where we are stood here this evening is only around half to a mile tops away this evening that the what's happened some >> yeah I would have to like I don't think this is going to be in this investigation I think this like separate I just don't see the fire starting at the top of like second floor and it being like but they said two men though they got two men for this but how like what they do threw it through the top though. They could have. They very well could have. Let me know what y'all think in the comments on this one. This is a This is a crazy one. Like, you had to put in real effort. Like, you are trying hard at this point. You really don't like whoever's in this house to get that to where it needed to be, where you thought it should be. RIP though to everybody. I really thought about listening to these people talk, but I feel like I should. So, >> Helen Hoden not in the studio with me, LBC's reporter, who's been looking, I know, at the online element of this, comments, calls for Tik Tok to do more about such videos uh as we've seen um and just the conversation around what young people are up to when it comes to this kind of so-called joy riding. M so Sheila, in the aftermath of this horrific crash over the weekend, footage emerged on Tik Tok showing one of the men who died appearing to film himself driving dangerously. In the months before the crash with clips, >> yeah, cloud is a dangerous drug, man. Cloud is cloud is a crazy drug. showing a car going through a residential area in broad daylight before veering onto a green in the middle of a housing estate and appearing to drive uh with one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding the phone. I've now had a look into the social media accounts followed by some of the teenagers and young men who were in the car which was going the wrong way. And I found this community uh that uh routinely glorifies reckless driving and also displays this palpable disliking of the police. One t >> there's a lot of angles that this this is going on like do we think it's joy riditing and giving the middle finger to the police? Do we think it's gang related? Do we think it's just what do we think? What do we think though? which >> talk account followed by one of the crash victims has posted multiple tributes to the victims and recently posted footage filmed inside a car moments before it seemingly crashes into a tree with the caption # wrapped and then a crying laughing emoji and a tree emoji. Uh, other posts address Cleveland police. >> That's that frontal lobe not being developed though. Me personally, I don't play in cars. I tell y'all this all the time, bro. Don't put me in your car. Don't think Don't Let's not get Let's not I All right, chill. 100 on a 30 m an hour is insane. Like, I'm not I'm not ready for that. It's 30 m for an hour a reason. There's blind corners. People can't see you. certain people like certain angles is not fully visible like no >> directly using derogatory terms. One example I saw of that was posted on a photo of three very youngl looking boys with this uh address at Cleveland police uh captioned over it. Another account which posted tributes to the victims over the last couple of days uploaded a video just six days ago filmed behind the steering wheel of a car which appears to reach >> Yeah. I don't want to hear them talk about social media. I don't I get where we're going. You want social media to take this type of interior off. Um, okay. Fine. As long as the news can't post it either. I think that's fair, man. TLO. Let me know what y'all think in the comments, man. RIP to everybody involved who lost their life in this tragedy in incidents, multiple incidents. And uh I'm gone.
