Both marked and unmarked police cars have been seen parked next to the bins with police tape around them on Main Street in Duston - near the Timken estate entrance - since yesterday morning (Tuesday, September 10).

A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said it relates to a serious assault, however the incident is isolated and there is no risk to the public - no further details are available at this time.
