Police Chopper buzzing about

[albaqwerty]

My curiosity is piqued.

It's almost overhead!! Do I stay in safe or go out ??

Half the time it never makes the papers anyway.

I follow my local police helicopter on Twitter. Good info and some great photos

I didn't think us civilians were supposed to listen in.

They're probably looking for cannabis, alba ;-)

The other year we were going to visit my eldest sister sister and and as we came over the hill we could see a police helicopter circling the village where she lives. Arriving at the end of her street we found it blocked and sis standing amongst the crowd, having been fetched out of her house via the back door by armed police who then raided the house directly across the road from her. When it all came out they'd found thousands of pounds, guns and drugs and the six people they arrested got terms of up to ten years.All of this in a quite little village with a guy who'd lived there 10 years and who was considered to have become a pillar of the community

That should of course be quiet village

Bloomin' 'eck, paddy. What a fright you must have had.

I'm not listening in to anything I shouldn't be. I just follow their tweets on Twitter.

Thanks hc, I just wondered:)


The guy with the dog has just cycled by, VERY quickly.
I'm not saying anything I shouldn't, he is a known small supplier of relaxing medicines :)

I didn't really bother us albaqwerty, the nearest we could get was about100 yards but sis was really upset, you can imagine how she felt, one minute she's minding her own business pottering about in the garden and the next armed police are escorting her and her neighbours out of harms way. What really upset her was that nobody had any idea that the house was the centre of the local drug trade and everybody on the street had often commented on what a nice family they were with such polite and well behaved kids.
