Detective Inspector Gary Stratton said: "We are in the extremely early stages of an investigation, and I would appeal to anyone who has any information at all to come forward.
"Investigations are ongoing to establish exactly what happened and our officers are at the scene while we conduct house-to-house enquiries and gather information.
"If you saw or heard any suspicious behaviour in the area this evening then please let us know. Similarly if you were driving down Longmoor Lane and have dashcam footage then please review it and contact us if you see anything. All information you hold could be vital to our investigation."
