Silver Street is taped off from the junction with High Street to the nearby Bowers Fold side alley.

The road features many pubs and bars, along with several businesses like salons which were unable to open today as a result.

It is understood the police cordon has been in place since the early hours of Sunday (August 16).

South Yorkshire Police were contacted for a comment.
