View Full Version : Police Helicopter in Ecclesall Area nslack 23-08-2005, 23:36 Anyone know anything about this odd occurence, It was in the afternoon and it circled overhead for about 15-20 mins, really low as well, not a common occurance in Ecclesall. I'm just nosy so any info would be good! :) CorpG 23-08-2005, 23:49 Out doing police stuff I assume. We should rename this place 'seeing the police helicopter and creating loads of pointless threads about it forum'. That is all. Greenback 23-08-2005, 23:55 Perhaps there may have been a crime in Ecclesall. :shocked: :shocked: If so it will surely be the lead item on the national news tomorrow morning, so I'd hold your horses until then. :D aNTAcid 24-08-2005, 00:19 Could be connected to the police blocking off roads near collegaite crescent, see my other thread and that was at about 11 tonight, looked like something big was happennig Kristian 24-08-2005, 00:24 I've not merged in case the two incidents are seperate, but for reference the other thread is here: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56116 dieselbabe 24-08-2005, 00:25 Dont the police helicopter come over ecclesall or something normaly ?

I saw it after returning home from work, it must've been at around 4 to 4.30pm, and appeared to be flying around the Dobbin Hill/ Falkland Road area of Ecclesall and did about 5 full circles very low down. As nslack says it's not a common occurance around here in sleepy suburbia. I'd be interested to find out what it was all about. t020 24-08-2005, 00:42 Originally posted by Kristian I've not merged in case the two incidents are seperate, but for reference the other thread is here: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56116 Definitely separate. For one the 2 incidents are about 2 miles apart and for another one happened in the afternoon and one happened tonight. dieselbabe 24-08-2005, 00:45 Its been flying low over shiregreen/parson cross area all day too.so if anything gone off it got to be big. |
