White-suited investigators have been spotted probing a property in Guisborough following an early-morning incident. 

Police, fire, and ambulance crews were called to Warwick Road, off Dorset Road, on Wednesday morning in response to an unknown incident. 

Officers wearing purple gloves and white suits were seen entering and exiting a property with large boxes - before armed cops were spotted seizing a range of guns from the home.
