Two police vans, two police cars, CSI vans and CID cars remain at the scene currently.

Forensics have been pictured going and out of a house, which is also cordoned off, as enquiries continue.

Further details about the nature of the incident is not yet known.

Some people living nearby reported that they heard gunshots at around 10pm this evening, but this has not yet been confirmed by police.

The large cordon stretches the full length of the Albert Road side road, opposite Kilcoby Avenue.

Witnesses also told the M.E.N that there were 'at least eight' CID vehicles at the scene.

Greater Manchester Police have not yet confirmed details of the incident but have been contacted for more information.
