Update: Sunday morning. We have spoken to Essex Police and we should get a statement this morning.

ESSEX Police have sealed off a section of Momples Road in Harlow (1900 hrs).

The area in question is close to Burgoyne Hatch (The Purple Emperor).

The police line includes section of the cycle track that leads to Quarry Spring.

Traffic cannot pass through Momples Road at this point.

Both uniform, plain clothes and forensic are at the scene.

We are aware of other areas being referenced.

It is hoped that once we receive a statement from Essex Police, that things may be clearer.

YH has contacted the police press office for more details.

More follows.
