There's a number of police vehicles and police officers standing outside a semi-detached house. | |
It's adjacent to Hartley Brook Primary Academy school, where an air ambulance landed this morning. | |
We've spoken to people who live in the area who told us there was an awful lot of police activity this morning. | |
Emergency vehicles - including four ambulances - were seen near to the school. | |
As far as we know the school is currently still open, with detectives busy doing door-to-door inquiries around the neighbourhood. | |
