Armed police today swooped on a house on a Colchester estate and arrested two people.
A 22-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman were arrested at the address in connection with allegations of aggravated burglary and false imprisonment.
The pair, who are not being identified by police, are today being questioned by detectives at Colchester Police Station.
Officers from the armed response unit and CID first raided an address in Alderton Road, St Anne's, Colchester, yesterday morning, but nobody was found on that occasion.
However, shortly after midnight today armed officers and CID raided another house, this time in Goring Road, also on the St Anne's estate.
