Armed police swoop in Rosemary Court – man arrested
Firearms officers and a dog unit were called to the property in Rosemary Court, near Walmgate, shortly after 1pm on Friday (May 8).
It followed a report of affray that happened earlier on Friday, North Yorkshire Police said.
The force said the incident was “safely resolved” but officers would remain at the property on Friday to conduct a search.

One woman visiting a friend in the area said she was surprised by the police presence.
“I had absolutely no idea, we didn’t see or hear anything that was happening,” she said.
A nearby resident said: “I saw three or four police cars before, but it wasn’t too close to me.
“I just keep myself to myself … It’s generally really nice living around here, but we do have police showing up a few times a month.”
A 43-year-old man was arrested in connection with the reported affray on Friday, police said.
