Photos show a house has been cordoned off by police.
An eye witness, who asked not to be named, said: "I was in my back graden when I heard the helicopter circling.
"I went out to post a letter and to my amazement I saw two ambulances, four police cars and two emergency vehicles and an unmarked police car.
"Everyone was standing outside the houses asking what was going on.
"I said I thought it must be serious as they wouldn't have sent that for a burglary.
"There must have been a suspcious death or someone has been attacked."

Another witness said: “I saw a few ambulances, then a police car and then more paramedics and police and I started think, Oh God something bad is happening here.
“The Air Ambulance landed in the school and I spoke to the person show drove the paramedics over, who said all they saw was someone in the back of a land ambulance receiving CPR.
“It’s horrible, I’ve lived here for 35 years and never seen anything like this, we have had a couple things through the years but nothing like this, you don’t expect it.”
Warren Bye, 29, Percy Cottis Road, said: “I saw one police car driving off and there was a lady in the back of the car. I don’t want to speculate why she was in there though.”
