According to locals, officers removed two dogs, believed to be Staffordshire Bull Terriers, from a house in the rural town.
They claim that a dog mover and dog handler were also on site.
Speak with Derbyshire Livesaid one resident: “There were quite a lot of police cars and it looked really serious.
“I think they had someone in the back of a police van, but I couldn’t see much.”
Another added: “The police were standing next to the roundabout and they were there for quite some time.
“I can’t imagine how those involved must have felt.”
