Armed police and police dog handlers arrived at around 8.30pm yesterday (Saturday, May 25).
A witness said a girl was heard shouting and a man was seen with a baseball bat.
She added: "We saw a motorbike turn up with the passenger wearing a balaclava.
"The man in a balaclava went into a house then lots of armed police turned up and police dogs."
There were reports on social media that suggested police were called when a gang armed with an axe/gun tried to steal a motorbike.
Police have been contacted for further information.
