Armed police swoop on Cardiff residential street

Armed police swooped on a residential street in Cardiff. Pictures from Malefant Street, which is just opposite Cathays Cemetery, showed police vans blocking off the road and at least three armed officers in the road.

A witness at the scene said police appeared to be interested in one house and entered it. Officers also brought police dogs to the scene. At around 4.15pm, police left the scene and the road reopened.

A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: "Police have been called to Malefant Street, Cardiff. This is an on-going incident and more information when will provided when appropriate."
