There is police tape across the door of the shared house previously raided by counter-terror officers following the arrest of a suspect in May.

There’s nothing else — at this stage — to suggest this incident is related.

The road is closed is between Rosebery Street and County Road. Manchester Road is open up until the police cordon.

Officers erected a forensic tent at the scene shortly after 9am. Forensics are expected to attend in due course.

In a statement, Wiltshire Police said: “We are currently dealing with a serious incident in Manchester Road.

“The road is closed and is likely to remain closed for several hours.”
