Five heavily armed officers could be seen storming one apartment in the complex, but appeared to leave the home soon after without drama.
Some 20 cop cars were parked nearby after the incident unfolded at about 10pm.
Devon and Cornwall cops are yet to issue a statement or respond to questions put to them by The Sun about what exactly has happened.
In a statement earlier on Wednesday, Devon and Cornwall Police told PlymouthLive there was a “serious assault” in the area.
The Force Incident Manager said: “We are dealing with a serious assault at the scene. Members of the public are being asked to stay away. Officers remain at the scene.”
A member of the public told The Sun: “There are dozens of police cars and they’ve set up tents on the street.
“There’s a lot of commotion and confusion. An armed police officer told me for my own safety I should stay away from the area.”
It is not yet clear whether there are any injuries or whether any arrests have been made.
