A police spokesperson said the callout has been resolved without incident and no-one else is being sought.
"Police would like to thank residents from Greenvale Close and Woodcock Rd for their patience and understanding this evening while the incident was being resolved," they said.
Four police cars and a van were visible from the cordon.
