A group of men believed to be carrying "bladed weapons" are occupying a temple in Leamington Spa, according to police.
Warwickshire Police said about 20 or 30 men entered the Gurdwara Sahib, at about 06:45 BST on Sunday.
Officers are inside the temple on Tachbrook Drive negotiating with the group.
A force spokesman said it was being treated as "an aggravated trespass" from "the escalation of a local dispute" and was not a terror incident.
A police cordon is currently in force around the temple while officers and religious leaders try to end the stand-off.
