South Yorkshire Police closed Albert Terrace Road in Sheffield after concerns were raised about a person’s safety. The incident prompted a significant police presence and led to officers cordoning off the road, with delays expected for motorists.

The road, which runs between Penistone Road and Upperthorpe Road via Infirmary Road, was expected to remain closed for a considerable period on 3 June. Officers, including crime-scene investigators wearing forensic suits, were pictured near a white car, but police had not disclosed the nature of the incident.
