A number of police vehicles were spotted at Church Place, outside All Saints Church and The Red Lion pub, at around 9.30am. One member of the public saw police officers with what was described as ‘assault rifles’.
Police later left the scene heading towards Yarmouth.
A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service confirmed paramedics were called just after 10.20am to assist with the operation at an address in Edinburgh Road, Freshwater.
