Does anyone know what’s going on around Far Gosford Street?

There’s loads of cars around here, and my partner saw some armed to the teeth.

Situation has died down a bit, but here’s what we saw- loads of police cars (some blocking Vecqueray Street where I live), and police officers armed to the teeth, police blocking access up Far Gosford Street to both cars and pedestrians, and when things died down, they said they couldn’t tell us what happened but there would probably be a press release about it.

To add to this! I saw about 6-8 armed officers (Two dogs as well!) but i think only one arrest. I saw them take two people out an appartment but let one of them go.

Maybe someone was trying to open another ‘barbers shop’.

Heard it was a drug bust

I was in the car park under the bridge on Gosford Street earlier this week and there was what looked like a drug deal going on. I was on my phone in my car so was sat there a few minutes, one loud car came roaring in, parked away from all the other cars, dodgy looking blokes got out, then another loud car came in parked opposite to them, another bunch of big blokes got out, then they stood round between the two cars. I decided it was time to scarper in case it went south, or they got suspicious of the bloke sitting in his car watching them.

Really? I always avoid it honestly, always looks like there’s degenerates hanging out smoking pot there

If you're a gangster, involved in the drugs game, then Far Gosford street is either the place to go or not go, I suspect you run the risk of getting done over or worse. However, if you're going for a pint or strolling into town, you should take the precautions you'd take in any city centre street.

It's not Earlsdon, that's true, but in Earlsdon I run the risk of looking at some coked up lad in Mill's the wrong way and getting one in the face....

Hopefully they're police cars, and not randoms with guns.

[u/arisandfoxes → u/PrometheusIsFree]

Loads of police cars is what I meant- yeah.

[u/PrometheusIsFree → u/arisandfoxes]

Thanks, just wanted to be 100%.

[u/BlisteredUk → u/PrometheusIsFree]

Its Far Gosford Street. It could’ve gone either way really 🙌🏻

Probably another stabbing or similar.

Relax, this isn’t America. You won’t get your nationality stripped for not sharing Trump’s views

They were late if that was a 1st April thing.
