“No -one has any what is happening but it’s not the kind of thing you want to see in your street on Christmas Day.”
Another eyewitness said: “I saw police there from around 9am on Sunday.
“There has been a lot of police activity there all day. Everyone is talking about it but I have no idea what has been happening.
