The search began about 9am and is part of Operation Walter, the investigation into the death of David Bridgwater in Carisbrooke Street early on Thursday 4 January.
‘We expect to remain at this address over the weekend,’ said Detective Inspector Nicola Reeves.
Police are seeking sightings of a second car.
‘This car – a green 2003 Holden Commodore, registration BGE263 – is believed to have been in Carisbrooke Street at the time of David’s death, leaving shortly afterwards.
‘Police would like to hear from anyone who has seen this car since around 2am on 4 January and any time since then.
‘Police are also continuing to seek sightings of a white 2006 Toyota Crown sedan, registration LEQ895.
