One local woman said: “It was just after 11pm last night, I heard loads of cars and doors closing and then I heard a sliding door, it sounded like a van door.”

“I looked out and all I could see was police cars. They were everywhere and then about an hour later cops chapped my door and asked if I had heard anything. They wouldn’t tell me what was going on.”
