Fun and games down in Hillsboro' this afternoon. Police chasing two or more suspects in the Bradfield Road / Rudyard Road area. One suspect came over the river near the back of Regent's Court flats and out onto Treswell. Wet footprints leading back towards the main road. A friend of mine spotted another one up a tree at the back of the flats - and heard the sound of a branch breaking.....

My Wife just rang to say that Hillsborough is swarming with Police and the Chopper is up aswell.
Sounds like the end of a car chase to me!!

A friend has just arrived at mine after being stuck in Hillsborough.

She said it was bedlam!!

Cops everywhere!

You'd think they would play hide and seek at a better time of day! :hihi:

Damn I missed it, been down there this morning but got home at 1pm

oh goodness....my mum works near there, bet shes been watching :hihi:

lol I hear that up a tree is always the best place to get away :hihi:

That wasnt one of the suspects up the tree....it was a member of special branch.....oh leaf it out!

i saw that!! i wondered what was going on just saw about 4 police cars on hillsborough corner!! the helicopter really low an loadsa bikes and then walking towards college more police cars were arriving it was about 1ish when i went past i think!!

That wasnt one of the suspects up the tree....it was a member of special branch.....oh leaf it out!


I knew someone would crack that little chestnut :rolleyes:

Well it does get to the root of the issue without coppicing out.

Having seen it in action on TV I'm amazed that anyone even bothers to run away when the helicopter is up. They should have twigged by now.

It would be better if they just turned over a new leaf...

This is all getting a bit a-corny now.... stop being saps.


(ok ok I'm not so good at this.... but I tried).

Oooooo, 'ark at 'er bark!

Lets branch out and discuss the original topic guys - we need to get to the root of the issue! hahahahaha!!

was it two or tree suspects they were chasing?

touch wood it was tree

Did the police catch them or are they still stumped as to who the culprits are

I hear the dogs were barking up the wrong tree.

Special branch were called in - they were stumped about it all as well - apprently the criminals had a stumpy leg :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

tree volunteers needed to search for these budding criminals....keep it up!:P

Oak ay (ok) folks, I hope the copse kept their elm-ets on? Sounds like the suspects made a real 'ash' of the getaway. Wooden like to see them try again!

They should autumn-atically stay rooted when the chopper is in pear-sue.

Wonder if they were Blades fans?

oh leaf it out everyone! this is terrible now!

Wooden it be nice to get back to the original topic?

These puns are proving to be too poplar. Come along mods, spruce up this thread and make them varnish.

oak-ay oak-ay, firs fir, getting bark to the original topic.....I wooden be sap-rised if the culpr(inol)its are sunning on a beech by now.....
