Incident In Cowes Prompts Police Response

A large number of police units have descended on Newport Road in Cowes this evening (Sunday).

Several police vehicles, along with the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service attended the scene, near the junction with Arctic Road, just before 9.30pm.

It’s not yet known what circumstances surround the response, but a police cordon has been erected at the entrance to a footpath, which runs between Newport Road and Fraser Close.

Door to door inquiries have been taking place, and officers have been seen to collect evidence from within the cordoned area.

We’ve approached Hampshire Constabulary for a statement.

More follows.
