while riding my bike home from Newport yesterday,as i was approaching Hafodrynys a biker coming the other way was waving his arm to tell me to slow down.as you pass the layby where the burger van normally is there where about five policemen stood there and three of them where armed with rifles and full body armour etc.then in the corner of my eye i noticed about three riot transit vans on the other side of the road.i carried on my way and as i approached llanhilleth on the new road where the traffic lights are i noticed tucked in the factory units there must have been about another four to six riot transits and loads of police walking around.i can't find anything in the news about what was going on so i thought i post this to see if anyone knows on here

I do not know but i saw them in convoy as i was coming out of Blackwood. i saw 5 riot vans in total.

They might have heard that Yan was out on his new blade

do they ever do training exercises in public with rifles etc

WR1JLD

Looks like it was a little more than a training exercise....

My brother in law was involved, he's a copper. It was to do with rival bike gangs coming to fight. Patrols were everywhere. He told me that they pulling them and finding guns, knives, swords on them. It was a revenge meeting so to speak, a gang member was killed a week earlier by another gang or something.
