A Swindon road has been closed as police respond to a serious incident.

Several police vehicles, including an armed response unit, swarmed the Gorse Hill road, closing it in both directions at around 8am this morning.

Beatrice Street is blocked both directions between Handel Street and Florence Street.

An ambulance appears to be waiting near the Cricklade Road junction, possibly waiting for police officers to ensure the scene is safe before they attend to treat a casualty.


UPDATE 10AM: Wiltshire Police cannot provide any significant information on this incident due to an ongoing investigation.

A spokesperson told Wiltshire 999s: “This morning officers executed a warrant at an address in Beatrice Street, Swindon.

”This is part of an ongoing investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

The road has since reopened.
