THERE have been reports of a large police presence in Barton this morning. 

One bus passenger, who wanted to be named only as Eddie, said there were at least six police officers and more police cars at Underhill Circus.

The roundabout has been closed by police officers with cones at the Stowford Road exit, and drivers are being diverted. 

Underhill Circus is home to Spar, a post office, a pharmacy and a chip shop.

Eddie said: "I have just come back on the bus, it's round the back of the shops - that's where all the police are.

"There's a transit van, police cones, two police vans and around six police officers." 

Another resident said there were a lot of police officers in the area.

More to follow as we have it.
