Police in Berkshire are investigating a "serious incident" in which at least one person is feared dead.





Several eyewitnesses said the body of a man remains lying on the pavement by the A30 in Sunningdale, close to the junction with Cedar Drive.

One man said the body, which is covered with a green tarpaulin, lies within a police cordon manned by at least 10 officers.

He said three men, all aged between 40 and 50, were led from a white van and arrested at about 1pm.

Eyewitness Amit Yadiv told Sky News: "There were four white men in the van, three in the fornt, one in the back. The guy in the back jumped down and ran off.

"The body I believe was in the back."

Another eyewitness reported seeing three men being held on the ground by police, and suggested that a fourth suspect may have fled.

Amanda Bealin, a secretary from estate agency Hamptons, said the incident took place between 2pm and 3pm just down the road from her branch.

"The police took three people out of the van and cuffed them on the floor, then they opened up the back and there was two bodies there," she said.

Ms Bealin added that she believed a fourth man in the front of the van fled the scene as the others were being held.

A local businessman said he suspected an armed robbery had been foiled by police.

He said: "We did not hear any shots and we do not know how the man came to be there."

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "There has been a serious incident at the location and the roads are closed and likely to be closed for some time."

A spokesman for South Central Ambulance Service said: "We received a call at 13.56 from Thames Valley Police to a level crossing in London Road, Sunningdale.

"It came in as a male assaulted, breathing shallow."

Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance went to the scene, along with a Basics doctor and a rapid response vehicle but the man was not taken to hospital, he added, referring inquiries to the police.
