Witnesses told the ECHO that several roads were closed in the area as police were outside the Chung Wah Supermarket on Hardy Street.
A 22 year-old woman was later arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
Two e-scooters were also seized by police for forensic examination following a search of a nearby property.
