    Forensic teams remain on the scene following a serious incident in Bilton last night.

    Yesterday evening, police were called to a property on Byland Road but no further information has been released since.

    The Stray Ferret has been down to the address this morning to talk to residents. There is  frustration by the lack of information.

    Many are also shocked by what has happened. The property remains guarded by police with forensic teams working under a tent.

    At 7.15pm last night North Yorkshire Police released this statement:

    "Officers are currently in attendance at a property on Byland Road following an incident earlier this evening.
    "The investigation is currently in the early stages and we will issue an update in due course.
    "Speculation can often be unhelpful and we ask anyone posting on social media to be mindful of this."


    The Stray Ferret has gone to the police for a further update but received nothing at the time of publication.
