Evacuations ordered after munitions found in York garage
The safety precautions were prompted by the discovery of what are believed to be old munitions in a garage in Holgate.
Police are ordering people out of their homes around Windmill Rise and they are warning they may have to close part of Acomb Road, which runs parallel to Windmill Rise.
Army experts have been called out to check the munitions.
A police spokesman said: “Your safety is our priority, so thank you for your support and understanding while we do this.
“Please avoid the area for the time being and speak to our officers at the scene if you have any concerns.”
We will keep you updated.
