“We are working hard to fully establish the circumstances of what has happened, but at this very early stage we believe this is likely to be an isolated incident. Two arrests have been made at this time.
“People living in the area can expect to see an increased police presence over the coming days while we conduct enquiries at the scene and carry out extra reassurance patrols in the area.
