A man has died following an overnight incident in Guisborough.

Emergency services were called to Warwick Road, off Dorset Road, on Wednesday morning after reports of the sudden death of a man, aged in his sixties. 

Crime scene investigators were pictured at the scene wearing masks and purple gloves later in the morning, with armed officers seizing a string of guns from the home. 

Cleveland Police has confirmed that the death is not being treated as suspicious at this time and that a file will be prepared for the Coroner.

The Northern Echo has asked the force for more information on the guns taken from the property, although it said there was "no more information available."

Police previously said there was "no threat to the wider community."

As previously reported, there were around two armed response vehicles, five police vehicles, a CID van, and two fire service vehicles at the scene around 11am.

Investigators were seen with large boxes before the weapons were carried out from the home, which appeared to be a range of handguns and rifles, although this has not been confirmed. 

Firefighters were also spotted changing into white suits before entering the home.
