Police remain in the area where a large section of the road has been cordoned off by tape.

A lone police car remained in the area this afternoon as officers patrolled the area.

One property is the focus of police attention, with the front porch taped off.

At the scene today, neighbours locally spoke of their shock to waking up this morning to see the police activity.

They described the areas as “normally very quiet”.
