Lacon Road was closed with police tape at 10pm tonight, Saturday, and at least three patrol cars were present. An officer told me residents of a house had heard shots - and two 'casings' had been found, presumably from handgun bullets. Dogs were searching for more at the time.

No-one hurt. But did anyone see or hear anything that could be connected? A mystery, and not what you want on your way to the shop...

I was in my back garden which backs onto Lacon rd , and heard a motor bike scream down the road and thought it had back fired twice ! Which had set off car alarms !!!! I thought this happened around 7.30 just before I went back inside. I didn't even think about it until I saw the road was closed when I went to the shop half an hour ago...
Lordy, I thought I was going mad last night! I was in the kitchen and looked up because I heard one bike go past very fast, and then I saw at least one more hare by with the rider's hand outstretched and several bangs. My first instinct was that it was a shooting but it happened so fast and I saw no detail. My boyfriend and I concluded it must have been the bike backfiring as it wasn't hugely loud... Sounded a bit like firecrackers.

this really takes the piss, what is this, Compton?!


frequency of knife and firearm incidents are really on the increase, maybe not in absolute terms but no spilling over into areas that are regarded as less 'front line'.


lets hope they can crack down sharpish.


glad no one was hurt at least, this time.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
