White-suited investigators have been spotted probing the front of a Stockton flat following a late-night incident. 

Police, fire, and ambulance crews flooded Talbot Street, in Stockton, around 9pm on Monday, October, 14, following what has only been described as an "incident". 

The street was taped off by police as the large-scale emergency response probed the scene - with activity focused on a flat off Carlile Walk.
