Shortly after 11pm tonight, three police vans were still in the street and officers were not allowing residents to pass through the cordon unless they lived in one of the houses within it.

An alley off Vyner Street also appeared to be cordoned off.

The Press has approached North Yorkshire Police for more information and will publish details as soon as they are available.
