Armed Police Raid Kingston Property in Late-Night Blitz
Armed officers from the Met’s Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19) launched a dramatic raid in Kingston on Thames on Saturday night, November 30, 2019. Two armed response units stormed an address on Surbiton Road, weapons drawn, zeroing in on a second-floor window.

Uniformed officers held back curious onlookers, keeping the public at a safe distance. Nearby residents were told to stay indoors and not to leave their homes during the raid.
One local woman, who wished to remain anonymous, described the scene as “very surreal and very frightening.” Just after 11pm, the officers smashed through the glass frontage with a crowbar, making a loud and startling entry.

The forceful entry, heard by neighbours, raised questions — was this a planned operation or just routine procedure? Details remain unclear as the Met Police have yet to comment.
