It's reported to me that it is a very big raid with many police involved so it could be very serious indeed [14:56]

It's reported to me that the cops involved are all wearing black riot gear with helmets and body armour. Shouting still ongoing. At least 6 officers engaged with ancillary officers redirecting traffic and pedestrians. Armed police on site too. [15:06]

It's my mum they have quoted in the Star, so funny they've called it Rampant Road - it's given us a good laugh that has.

 

 

...Just noticed they have now corrected it.

Think The Star got the police force wrong - don't think WYP cover Sheffield!

You may be surprised to learn that polices forces are not limited by force fields at county borders.

Very true. I was apprehended by three forces once and they were arguing who got to take me in because of who was on scene first and which shire they were in.

 

Actually, reading that back, that sounds a lot more serious than it actually was!
