Officers were seen blocking Beauchamp Drive following the incident at Royal Reserve overnight.

The area was cordoned off by police, with detectives and a forensic photographer at the scene.

Not long afterwards, police attended a nearby address on Reverie Place, which adjoins the park, and arrested several people. Police have not confirmed whether the two incidents were linked.

Earlier, a Herald photographer at the scene said a motorbike was visible lying on its side in the carpark. That bike, and another vehicle at the scene, have this morning been covered by two tents.
