Natalie Batty, a teacher at a nearby primary school, said: "It's quite shocking to be honest. I've only just gone down to take my lunch and to see something like this is scary.
"It makes you wonder what is happening in the area you live in and I've not heard a thing at all."
Carol Turpin spotted police in the street at around 10pm on Thursday, November 5, before a cordon was put in place.
She, like others, has been questioning the nature of the police investigation and she is worried about what has happened on her doorstep.
"I went to bed at midnight with the police still there and now they're still there this morning," Carol said.
"There was just one police car initially but then another three came. It's confusing because we don't know what's been going on.
"My neighbour said she'd wondered if there had been a murder but surely if there had been police would have come round questioning people and nobody has."
Another woman who lives nearby, but did not wish to be named, told LeedsLive: “I’m working from home and I’ve just come out to get some lunch - I’m a bit shocked to be honest.
“There were two police cars here last night and I just thought ‘Oh it’s Beeston.’
"But now there are a lot more here. I have no idea what’s happened.”
