A child’s bike was the only thing visible in the garden of the property, which neighbours said is occupied by a young family
A uniformed police officer stood on duty outside the end of terrace house today while detectives went in and out, taking computers and other property.
Locals say a young woman and a man, who they believed was her husband, lived there, along with two small children, a boy and a girl.
It is thought the occupants had been at the address for between 3 and 4 years. In the rear garden, a small child’s toy bike could be seen.
One local man said: ‘I never knew them to go away. They were always here and you could see them coming in and out.’
