Helicopter early Saturday morning 11/5 and Police on foot with flashlights?

Rating: No Rating

Does anyone know what was going on early in the morning of Nov. 5 when at least one helicopter was flying over the Highlands section of Lansdowne and there were, I believe, police officers (could have been someone else) searching on foot with flashlights behind houses for maybe 45 minutes?
