Police vehicles and officers were seen stationed at Newport Bus Station, where a cordon has now been erected. Witnesses also reported seeing police activity in surrounding streets, including South View and East View.
Residents have revealed that they were urged by officers to remain indoors. One person reported leaving their home, only to be told by an officer to “get back inside.”
