A person has been arrested after armed police blocked off a road in Bryndwr early this evening.

A Truman Road resident told chrislynchmedia.com they were shocked to discover their house within the police cordon at about 5PM.

“As I looked out the window, I saw police putting on their helmets. It gave me one hell of a fright,” they said.

The resident mentioned that it appeared police were targeting a house known for previous criminal activity.

“Kids who live there have caused a lot of trouble in the past, stealing from around the neighbourhood,” they added.

A police spokesman said a person has been taken into custody following a family harm related incident at a Truman Road residential address.

 Specialist squads attended the scene as a precaution, the spokesman said.
