Major Incident?

[Penguin68]

I've just seen 5 police vans, the sort that the SPG or whatever they are now called use, head south down Underhill on blues and twos towards the South Circular. Would hold 40 officers if fully loaded. Anyone know what's up?

Yes, I saw an incident van too, earlier, around 3.30 - never seen one before. It did look as if it was on its way to something major.

And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well! 

I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.

You've conflated a major incident with LTNs?  That's machavallian.  I'm impressed 😵‍💫

At the Finches fire last week there were a lot of emergency vehicles  Including the SPG.  But no cops with weapons (I used to work near where the SPG were stationed).  When there are major incidents police from other boroughs are called in with such vehicles.  I can't remember the name of the vehicles bringing cops in.

Definitely a strong entry for "shoehorn of the year". 🤣
