A long police cordon is in place next to a famous York landmark today (Wednesday).
Crime tape stretches along Bar Lane, from its junction near Micklegate Bar to George Stephenson House, the Network Rail building.
Earlier a stretch of the Bar Walls were also sealed off but this has now reopened.
Cordon location





There’s a police guard at both ends of the cordon.
A stretch of the pavement is out of bounds, but the road is unaffected and traffic can still get through.
We have asked North Yorkshire Police for more information and will share this when it comes through.
