POLICE raided a property in Abingdon on Saturday as part of the investigation into the murder of 26-year-old Kerry Reeves.
Armed officers with dogs were called to the home in Welford Gardens at 3.30pm while the police helicopter circled overhead.
Neighbours said they saw two people get into a police car, but the force said nobody was arrested.
One neighbour who lives in Appleford Drive said: “I heard a dog barking and came out to see about five police cars and I thought I heard the words ‘armed police, put your weapon down’.”
