One resident said: “Another dozen armed police have just gone past. I can see about six police cars around and about. Nobody is allowed to leave their houses. This is very unusual activity for a postcode like this.
“Increasing activity. What looks like floodlights are being carried towards the area of interest. There’s an ambulance at the top of the street.”
The resident added that police seemed to be focusing their attention on woodland towards the back of a housing estate.
Traffic monitors are reporting that Llwydcoed Road is closed in both directions from Cwmynysminton Road (St James Church) to Tan Y Bryn Gardens.
The incident is still ongoing but South Wales Police were unable to confirm the nature of the incident.
