Later, while washing the dishes, she heard \u201ca lot of kerfuffle and saw lights, and then I saw that there were lots of police outside\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mXhlnsAMAlHgsvrv\" style=\"display:none\">The woman, who was home alone, said the incident was \u201cquite scary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mXhlnsAMAlHgsvrv\" style=\"display:none\">She said she had earlier felt uneasy seeing people \u201croaming outside\u201d, wondering if they were trying to break into her house, but added: \u201cI\u2019ve had to live here for the last year, so I just brushed it off because it\u2019s never anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mXhlnsAMAlHgsvrv\" style=\"display:none\">Police  had since left the scene by this morning, and no guard remained. .<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"People were &quot;roaming around&quot; a garage on Marumaru Lane before a car arrived and a person was stabbed, a neighbour says.
