Police have sealed off part of the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet this evening.

Officers remain at the scene of the incident, guarding a cordon on the west entrance to the shopping centre on Rodbourne Road.

The rest of the outlet appears to still be open to customers, and is sealed off from Carluccios, with signs directing people towards the south exit on Kemble Drive instead.

Officers from Wiltshire Police appear to be standing guard near the shopping centre's toilets close to the west exit.

The toilets remain open, and customers can access the toilets, while Hugo Boss on the other side of the mall also remains open.

Shoppers can still access the designer outlet from Rodbourne Road, as staff have opened up an emergency exit further down the road.

An officer at the scene said: "There was an incident at approximately 2.55pm around the area of the Rodbourne Road exit of the centre."

He would not comment further on the nature of the incident, but added: "It is not terrorism-related and there is no risk to the public.

"However if anyone was in the area just before 3pm and saw anything, could they please get in touch with Wiltshire Police by calling 101."
