A property on Briar Gate in Long Eaton is taped off this morning (Wednesday, February 5) while officers ‘speak to an occupant’.

Schoolchildren at the nearby Wilsthorpe School are being kept ‘inside the building’, a spokesperson added: ‘Please do not visit the school’.

We have contacted police for more information but a spokesperson said there were no updates they could provide at this time.
