Breaking News: A Major Police Incident Shuts Down Urmston Town Centre!
Tonight, Urmston town centre is the scene of a significant police operation, with Higher Road near the railway station completely cordoned off. This unfolding situation, which began on Friday, January 16th, has drawn a large police presence, sparking concern and speculation among residents.
Initially, reports indicated the involvement of armed officers. One eyewitness described the scene, stating that at least 10 police vehicles were present. The cordon extends from Ashfield Road to the junction with the main road, covering a considerable distance.
But here's where it gets controversial... Unconfirmed reports are circulating that the incident may involve a possible shooting. Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for comment, but as of now, details remain scarce, leaving many to wonder what exactly has happened.
Adding to the uncertainty, an ambulance was also spotted within the cordon. A witness noted the presence of what appeared to be a coat or jacket, with what looked like padding scattered on the road, suggesting someone may have received medical attention at the scene.
And this is the part most people miss... Despite the disruption, local taxi services, like Parade Cars, are still operating, although their office on Victoria Parade has closed to walk-in customers due to the ongoing police activity.
