Large police presence on Stansted Road nr Hurstbourne and Road closed off. Local chatter is started late last night, with raid on a house. Potential bomb squad involved. If anyone knows more…

Stanstead Road has reopened. Buses should be back on route instead of diverting via Perry Vale and Woolstone Road as I discovered when on the 185 earlier.

The reports of gunfire were incorrect in the end. Most likely cause of the noise would be distraction aka flash bangs, or simply the door being put in.
His injuries were caused by a fall from the window.
Would be good if the local SNT were able to share a little info for community safety sake. And to put minds and rumours at rest.

Good news and also sensible points. I do hope that as this site grows in reach, it would be the kind of community resource that the local SNT use to share news like this

Indeed, definitely worth speaking to them about having an account for community announcements, engagements etc
