| Armed police takes the streets of W. London -witnesses |
| 2005-07-22 |
| Armed police told residents around Harrow Road in west London to stay off the streets on Friday and one witness told the BBC he saw remote controlled trucks that he thought were used by bomb disposal units. "There's what looks like a bomb disposal-type vehicle, armoured, and there's several armed officers around it," Houst Monfaradi told BBC television, adding there was a huge police presence in the area. "About half hour an ago, police ran up my road telling everyone to get inside their houses. Anyone who even pops their head out, they scream at them: 'get inside your house'." He said he also saw a small remote-controlled tracked vehicle, followed by a couple of armed officers with shields. London police had been due to hold a news conference at 1:30 p.m. (1230 GMT) on the day's events but it was delayed by more than an hour. Sky Television, citing police sources, said the delay was for operational reasons. Sky News has witnesses reporting "popping sounds" |
