\n It comes after four people, including a 20-year-old man from Blandford, were arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of 18-year-old Kyron Wheeler, who was allegedly stabbed.\n<\/p>\n
\n He died in Poole Hospital after sustaining a suspected stab wound.\n<\/p>\n
\n It is understood he was injured in Dale Close, Poole, before being taken to Longfleet Road outside the hospital.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dorset Police has now confirmed that the activity in Blandford is part of the same inquiry.\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson said officers were “carrying out searches at an address in Castleman Smith Close in Blandford in connection to the Poole murder investigation”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Parents living on the close described feeling anxious as uniformed officers and specialist teams remained at the scene.\n<\/p>\n
\n One resident, who did not wish to be named, said: “We\u2019ve been a bit concerned, because we\u2019ve got children.\n<\/p>\n

\n “They\u2019re obviously concerned why there\u2019s been so many police hanging around, but we\u2019ve just been told there\u2019s nothing to worry about.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n She added that she felt \u201cunsafe\u201d and apprehensive as the police presence continued outside the house.\n<\/p>\n
\n Another neighbour said she was \u201ca little bit freaked out\u201d and had not left her home since officers arrived, as she was worried about her own safety.\n<\/p>\n
\n Residents said they did not know who lived at the property being searched but described Castleman Smith Close as normally a quiet and friendly street.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ian Dawe, who was working outside his home when the Echo visited, said: \u201cNobody knows anything.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n He said that on Friday evening he saw two armed response vehicles arrive in unmarked cars, adding: \u201cAt the end of the day, if there was anything to worry about, then surely they\u2019d tell us.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n His father, Ron, said he had seen police in the street before but \u201cnot for the amount this time \u2013 this is different altogether\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dorset Police said the investigation into Kyron\u2019s death remains ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
