Ellen Wilton, who lives across from the property being searched, said people living in the area thought the incident was to do with drugs.
She said: "All we know is that there were several police down there. I saw four of them go into the house. We all heard it was to do with drugs.
"When my husband went to take the dog out at 9pm the police said he couldn't as the whole area was cordoned off.
"I saw two little children being carried out of the property in a duvet. We didn't hear anything though it was all very quiet."
