A member of staff at the Ellenbrook Green Londis said: "I didn't see anything but I heard, like, fighting noises. I was just in the shop serving customers — I thought it was all normal.

"Then there were blue lights all over the place and I realised something was going on. They've taped off the car park and one road."
