Police have taped off a church in Westcliff after they received a tip off yesterday.
They have cordoned off the St Cedds Church in Bridgwater Drive and are searching the grounds.
A member of the public said that the police were seen at the church at around 2am last night and now three police cars there.
Police have not said what they are searching for yet however.
More information to follow soon.
