PICTURES: 'Huge' police presence reported on Sheffield estate

Residents say armed police, police dogs and unmarked police cars attended Winn Gardens in Hillsborough in the early hours of this morning (Sunday, August 26).

A message on the police's Facebook page says officers were called the the scene between 3am and 3.30am after reports of criminal damage to a property.

They said a brick had been thrown at a first floor window but residents now say this was followed by further retaliation including the possible use of a firearm.

South Yorkshire Police have been asked for further information on the incident.
