police!

Fuck me. Armed police are outside my house right now, weapons pointed at a guy sat in a car who they're ordering out and into custody. The road is blocked off from Forest Road to the roundabout at the bottom of the hill.

Edit: 5 minutes later, it's all clear. I wonder what the hell that was all about. I had heard shouting outside, so looked out and saw a police car approaching, which pulled up nearby. Then I saw him get a police dog out of the back, so I went out into the garden to see what was occurring. When I looked over the wall, a car was surrounded by 2 or 3 police with rifles pointing at it, one such weapon aligned in my direction. (Foreign friends: this is rather unusual in the mainland UK since police don't carry arms except on special operations.) Thus I got the hell away from the gate and opted not to take a photo in case someone got ACCIDENTALLY SHOT DEAD. They shouted at him to remove the seatbelt and get out of the car slowly, etc. Within a few minutes it seems to have been done and the road is open again. Fucked up.
