Residents in the area said they were shocked by the incident but did not know what happened – only a few police cars were there on Wednesday afternoon and one car was later taken by a trailer.

DCI Andrew Knowles, senior investigating officer, said there was a large police cordon and officers were “carrying out CCTV and house-to-house enquiries”.

“We will be patrolling throughout the night to provide reassurance and speak to anyone who may have information or is concerned,” he added.

Anyone with information, CCTV, ringer or dash cam footage that could help the investigation is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers.
