Cooper St in lockdown but police say no threat to public

COOPER Street is in lockdown and residents are not allowed back in their homes.

Police and emergency services were called to a house at 10.40am this morning, but a Police Media spokeswoman said there was no threat to the public.

A Disability Services Commission home is next door to the scene and people with disabilities are locked in their homes; their carers are not allowed back down the street.

One man has been arrested after he attempted to gain entry to his home.
