Watford Observer:

The Met Police has been approached for further details.

A witness has told us she walked by around 2.40pm today and could hear sirens and when she walked back past Osborn Road at 3pm, the road had been shut off and police were at the scene.

It is believed that forensic officers are on their way to the street and an officer said the road could be closed for a “good few hours”.
