Details are scarce at the moment but Vale of Glamorgan council have urged people to avoid the area.

Jenner Park Primary School said in a statement: "Unfortunately the school will be closed today on the advice of South Wales Police due to a major incident near the main entrance which has meant the surrounding streets have had to be cordoned off. Therefore school is inaccessible."

A police cordon is in place and a number of roads are closed."
