Two more arrests have been made in connection with the death of a three-month-old baby girl from a suspected dog bite.

A 31-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect and being a person in charge of a dog dangerously out of control resulting in death following the incident in Redcar last Thursday.

Cleveland Police also said on Monday a 36-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of being a person in charge of a dog dangerously out of control resulting in death.

Both have since been released on conditional bail.

Neither of them are connected to the family of the baby, Cleveland Police said.

Police were called to a property in the Dormanstown area on Thursday at about 1.30pm after officers received reports of concern for the baby.

The infant died at the home on Hardale Grove.

Upon arriving there, armed officers shot a dog in the street, and another dog located at the property was recovered and later put down.

Both dogs were assessed to not have been prohibited breeds.

"An investigation into the girl's death is ongoing and at this stage officers are treating it as a result of a dog bite," Cleveland Police said.

Last Thursday, police arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.

He was also released on conditional bail.

A 31-year-old woman sustained an injury to her arm as a result of a dog bite and was treated in hospital.

After the incident, Chief Superintendent Rachel Stockdale, head of local policing at Cleveland Police, said the force's thoughts were with the child's family after the "tragic and distressing" events.

"I want to take this opportunity to request that their privacy is respected during this difficult time," she said.

"There will continue to be a scene in place at the property alongside a visible policing presence as the investigation is ongoing."

The officer said anyone with information or footage about the incident should come forward.
