Armed police and dog unit spotted in George Street, York
Six North Yorkshire Police vehicles, including a dog unit, an unmarked car, and armed officers, were spotted this afternoon at the junction of George Street and Long Close Lane.
The armed officers were seen in the front garden of a property in the area for a short period, but it was not clear if they entered any of the houses or why they were at the scene.

One witness said: “It was all really weird. They came and went within about 10 minutes – they arrived at 4.19pm and were in their cars leaving by half four.
“We have no idea what was going on, we thought we’d be here waiting for ages. They didn’t peel away like they were going anywhere else.”
The Press has contacted North Yorkshire Police for a comment and when we hear back, we will update this story with the response.
