Police are attending an address on King’s Close in Hightown this morning, with armed officers assisting.

Phil told us he saw ‘a load of marked BMW X5s and unmarked cars’ with further police vehicles heading towards the area, with police arriving around 8:30am in what appears to be a pre-planned operation.
