Armed police carry out operation in Portsmouth
A LARGE police presence caused concern when it was seen gathering in an industrial estate before rushing to an incident.
Armed police were spotted gathering outside builders’ merchant Gibbs & Dandy in Fitzherbert Road, Farlington, by staff and customers at the Hyundai car showroom opposite just after 6pm yesterday. The units then headed towards Eastern Road.
A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said there was no need for residents to be alarmed.
‘The units were called in response to a phone call,’ he said. ‘No-one was arrested and we are not looking for anybody.’
