Yes, I understand it's closed up to the Highland Rd junction, where my mate lives. He's just pissed off that he had to walk all the way round and along Albany to get to Earlsdon for his breakfast
He didn't hear any bangs either.

It is , just drove down Kensington Rd, and the cordon starts there, fairly sure it started at Westwood Rd yesterday.

Guess they can't be the public walking in front of a coppers scope

Genuinely why don’t they put tranqs in the food in these situations?

The aim is to build a rapport with the suspect in the hope that the situation can be de-escalated peacefully. Sending in food is one way to build that trust; poisoning said food would likely see things turn hostile very quickly.

Yeah that's correct, just got caught out myself on a walk.

 

[clint van damme]

Ketchup or Mayo, just joking
Hope for a swift and safe resolution

The last armed siege in Earlsdon didn't!

Don't want to be alarmist but the last time I was involved in an ever expanding cordoned area was when I worked in Aston and that was due to a bomb (unexploded WW2).

We started off about 400 yards outside it and by the time they detonated it we were about 50 yards outside it.

Years ago, the 2 lads that robbed the bank and killed a copper in Tile Hill. They broke into a house in Earlsdon and holed up there, one of them ended up shooting himself

I've not seen it but it could be.

Oh ok, i remember the bank job and killing the copper but didn't remeber the other stuff.

I’ve never drugged someone non-consenting but surely by the time they know it’s too late?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Didn't that used to be where Primark is?

Have you got a link?

That's what somebody who has drugged somebody would say

 

[Houchens Head]

Has he not had a kip since all this started? He must be knackered by now!

Not great if they feed it all to the child.

Also probably only works once, and all future situations see proper siege, where they resort to drinking their own piss.

Here it is.......

 

[Nick]

Yeah that's the one.

I didn't know about the earlsdon bit either.

 

[Tommo1993]

At a guess, judging by his posts, yes he’s clearly an upset dad who’s also not mentally well. Worried for the pair of them.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Just had a read of this guy´s profile and it is fair to say he is having a bit of an episode. Seems to be an ex squaddie going on about Andy McNab and Ant Middleton.

Reckon it could be some sort of schizophrenic episode given the erratic level of paranoia too. Fingers crossed it gets sorted out calmly.

Where are they?

[Saddlebrains]

Yea judging by his recent posts the man clearly needs help.

Just hope he realises that the best thing he can do for his son who he clearly loves is to let his son leave the house

It has gone on for a really long time already, slightly concerning.

Just read the article and if I was still living in Earlsdon my house was right in the middle of the cordon.

I've just spent ages being baffled, then realised you hadn't put Ant McPartlin after all!

 

[Saddlebrains]

Its within here, think his comments are now deleted but on Facebook he goes by the name Owen Owen.I

Yeah definitely, feel bad for him as his profile seems to show a pretty devoted father. Hope this can end without harm and he can get the support he needs.

 

[Nick]

Just seen some also. Hopefully it ends with nobody harmed.

 

[Kneeza]

Doesn't sound in a good place judging by his FB page.

 

[Evo1883]

Sounds like he's saying his kids being abused and nothings being done ..could be reading it wrong

 

[SBT]

I'm guessing it's not that easy to knock someone out with poisoned food without it being obvious. Either way - it's the kind of risk they want to avoid taking so long as they still think a peaceful outcome is possible.

Gavin.
Can't remember his surname currently but did know it.
