Major response in Stroud tonight

[stitched]

Gents,
Was wandering out of my, fairly quiet, cul de sac in Stroud earlier when 7 police vehicles arrived to visit a neighbour, quiet bloke who likes his rugby.
What would precipitate that kind of attendance?

36 in a 30 and didn't sign the form.

Reports of a weird neighbour.

Strayed into a bus lane on the way home.

Complaints of singing 'Jerusalem' loudly.......

5 marked, 2 unmarked one was I think armed. Oddly enough no real appearance of stress from any of them, seemed very relaxed. Popping in and out of house for an hour or so before they carted him off in cuffs.
Stroud only has two units and I saw one of them in town so they must have popped down from Gloucester.
Just wondered what would cause this kind of response.

Wonder if he's been seen pushing a motorbike.

Rude Xmas lights?

Opinions from the pub
Drug dealer, doubt it as no visitors apparent, unless he is a big time dealer eg bulk.
Paedo, again you would expect to have seen kid/kids about.
My personal favourite, casual gf (he lives alone) called BiB and claimed gun.
Past caught up with him.

I'm willing to bet that he's selling steroids and was once photographed holding a shotgun.

Right I'm off to bed, suppose I'll find out in the morning.

[ATG]

Being Stroud, it'll be properly weird st.

That does scream 'quiet bloke who likes his rugby' I have to say. Good spot.

The fact that cops are now single crewed most of the time (making them less effective and increasing risk) means more and more cars often turn up at nor incidents as the other cops like to make sure there colleague is backed up because being on your own is not a nice place to be when it all kicks off.

Scrum practice?

Sounds like a Goon Show sketch: The Phantom Cat Shaver strikes again!
