Police were called to an incident at a high-rise building in Swindon today (18 January). 

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.

The force was unable to add any further details because the incident was ongoing at the time.

“Officers are currently at the scene and our enquiries are ongoing”, a spokesperson said.

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