POLICE were called to an address in Whitchurch on Saturday to deal with a “domestic incident”.

Residents have told The Gazette that they saw numerous police officers in Cherry Orchard Close, and heard a woman screaming.

Graeme Barbour, corporate communications officer for Hampshire Constabulary, confirmed police were called to the address at 12.40am on April 5, but added: “Due to it being a domestic incident we won't provide any more information in relation to the incident.”

He added: “If there was any safety issue to the wider community then we would clearly make the community and others aware.”
