As I suspect the original question might relate to a road traffic
accident, possibly involving a cyclist, then I could foresee
circumstances where a search of a garage connected to a home and
gathering of photographic / video evidence from vehicles, CCTV cameras
or individuals might be made.

Photographic evidence might be collected from a bus if it's still there
when the police arrive after an accident. It'd have to be a pretty odd
accident for the houses of the persons involved to be searched.

Hit and run and somebody tries to hide their car at / near their home?

That's the sort of "odd accident" I had in mind. To save typing I didn't
go on to describe them, but another would be a deliberate attempt to
injure someone.

Of course, doing that sort of thing in a car registered to your home
address is a bit of an own-goal.

Having been the victim of such an accident I know the police went to a
suspect's home to try to find the vehicle involved in the accident.

I agree it wouldn't be an every day event but it wouldn't be
impossible either.
