A police cordon was in place on the road near the junction with Bratton Road on Monday evening where multiple officers were present.

The cordon remained in place into Tuesday morning, but a police spokesperson said it was likely to be removed shortly.

An Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said: “A search for two people who were seen leaving the scene on motorbikes is currently ongoing.

“A cordon has been put in place at the address while enquiries are carried out.

“Anyone with information which could help us understand what happened is asked to phone 101 and provide the call handler with the reference number 5223183834.”
