Up to seven police units were spotted attending the scene in Torrington Court in Park North from around 3pm this afternoon.

At least one armed police vehicle and a dog unit were seen parked in Banwell Avenue as they responded to the serious disturbance.

Wiltshire Police has confirmed they were called to an “aggravated burglary”.

This means the 999 caller would have reported that they (or somebody else) were being burgled by a person with a weapon of some variety.

Adding: “Any witnesses should call Wiltshire Police on 101, quoting log 152 of today.”
