Armed police swooped on a home in a dramatic raid which closed a residential street.

Six officers were seen entering a house in Godinton Road, Ashford, following reports of “threats being made”.

Residents say drones were flying overhead and police dogs were brought in as officers targeted the property.

Police closed Godinton Road, between the junctions for James Street and Western Avenue, after being called at about 2.30pm.

Three men were arrested and two officers are still guarding the house, which sits at the junction with Western Avenue.

A police spokesman said: “We were called to a report of threats being made at an address in Godinton Road, Ashford, at about 2.30pm.

“Officers, including armed officers, attended the address and three men were arrested at the scene. Inquiries continue.”

All three remain in custody.
