Police seal off road in Holmewood after 'incident'

Officers from Clay Cross SNT said they dealt with the incident on Heath Road, Holmewood, on Friday night.

A spokesperson said on Friday night: “We are asking members of the public to find an alternative route if you are needing to travel.

“To clarify, this is near the shops and you can still cut through the industrial estate if you are wanting to get to the M1.

“If you are a witness to the incident and haven’t spoken to the police, can you please call 101 and quote incident number 1204-07/08/20.

“Please don’t send us messages asking how long the road will be closed for as our officers are very busy at this time.”

The nature of what has taken place is not yet known.

The Derbyshire Times has contacted Derbyshire Police for more information.
