Officers cordoned off Finkle Street with tape both at the entrance next to Nevisport and the Roman Bath pub at the St Sampson’s Square end, and at the Back Swinegate end.

Anyone who was in the area in the early hours of Monday and saw anything suspicious involving a man and a woman in their late teens is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 and pass information to York Serious Crime Team.
