There is a heavy police presence in a residential street this evening.

At least five police cars, two vans and unmarked cars have descended on Oceana Crescent in Beggarwood.

They first arrived at the scene around 9.45pm, according to witnesses. 

One neighbour said there were around 15 officers in the quiet cul-de-sac.
