Newbedders Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anyone know the reason for large police presence at Atlee Park and 3 unmarked cars that flew down Front street at 09:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webtrekker Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 No idea, but I've noticed an unmarked orange Kia in the area quite a few times over the last 2 or 3 months and also an unmarked black Audi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryg Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've heard there were many armed coppers there - no idea what it was all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Can't even rubber-neck cos the road is closed. Drove down Front Street last Monday heading for Horton and had to take diversion at the Market Place as Bedlington Bank closed and when I tried again today - still closed. Can't find anything on the www. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webtrekker Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 The only info I can find on the roadworks is from http://northumberland.roadworks.org/ Move the map, zoom in, and hover your mouse over the roadworks icons to get a description of the work being carried out. Seems to be for anti-skid work and bend warning sign improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe19 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I think they ewere searching for the man who was missing from Cramlington, sadly he was a day or so later found dead near Arcot .

Newbedders Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I've since found out that the threes unmarked cars were involved in a high speed pursuit. I've also heard that the large police presence was possibly related to the sighting of someone carrying a machete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
