There have been reports of an "explosion" in Market Weighton early this morning.
Image source, David ForsterA cash machine on Market Place has been damaged, according to police.
The High Street was cordoned off for a time but the road has now reopened.
Officers remain at the scene and are appealing for information.
A fine start, but it's expected to cloud over with some rain before getting brighter again later.
Watch my full forecast here:
Drinking water in Doncaster could have fluoride added to it in a bid to cut tooth decay, according to a report seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Image source, PAThe town's rate for tooth removal for five to nine-year-olds is five times higher than the national average, figures show.
Doctor Rupert Suckling, director of public health at Doncaster Council, says the statistics equate to 1,100 hospital procedures - the highest in South Yorkshire.
On average, latest figures show Doncaster's five-year-olds have four teeth which are decayed.
Dr Suckling said these rates were down in part to low levels of breastfeeding and children consuming sugary drinks.
Emergency service staff in West Yorkshire will visit "high risk" schools in an attempt to stop nuisance arsons around Bonfire Night, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The "blue light ambassadors" scheme is currently limited to the Leeds area, but could be expanded to schools across the county if it proves successful.
The scheme will be discussed by the West Yorkshire Fire Authority tomorrow, where the work being done between the county's police, ambulance and fire services will be examined.
A report going before the executive says: "It is also envisaged that the training will become broader and cover areas such as crime prevention and road traffic collision safety."
Almost half of people in Yorkshire and the Humber region lack the skills to carry out first aid in an emergency, according to a new report.

The charity is urging people to learn how to deal with several situations, including a person choking or bleeding heavily.
Following a mainly fine start, it's expected to cloud over with outbreaks of rain spreading southwards.
It'll become drier and brighter later this afternoon with sunny spells.
Tonight will be mainly dry with long clear spells:

Image source, North Yorkshire PoliceStephen Johnson, 51, was last seen in the York area yesterday and has not been heard from since.
He's thought to have connections to both York and Scarborough.

There are concerns about the economic effects of the closure of a green energy plant located on the Humber.
Vivergo makes biofuel from wheat at its £350m facility in Saltend, East Yorkshire, and buys up to 50% of some local farmers' crops.
But it was announced yesterday that the plant is to close because of a delay in new government regulations which would increase the amount of bio-ethanol in petrol.
The closure will put about 150 jobs at risk.
The government says it's committed to supporting the biofuels industry and to reducing carbon emissions from transport to tackle climate change.
A Yorkshire MP says he wants farming to be taught at school.
Julian Sturdy, the Conservative MP for York Outer, is calling for a GCSE in the subject.
Mr Sturdy says it would increase the pool of educated young workers for what he calls "the ageing farming sector".
The MP says it's not enough to hope that farming skills are handed down within families:
