Ripon Spa Gardens closed due to serious police incident
Ripon Spa Gardens and Park Road, which runs alongside it, were closed this afternoon due to a police incident.
Numerous police, fire and ambulance vehicles were in attendance at the scene.
Police on site would only say "an incident" had taken place.
The Stray Ferret contacted North Yorkshire Police's press office for further information but has not had a response.
Emergency services arrived on the scene at Park Street at about 3pm this afternoon. Most were based outside Ripon Spa Hotel, which is closed for refurbishment.
Police cordons were erected at the junction with Old Park Mews, which closed the road to through traffic and forced vehicles to find other routes.
