Armed Police Storm Kingston Upon Thames Property in Dramatic Raid
Armed officers from the Met Police’s Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19) launched a high-tension raid in Kingston upon Thames last night.
Weapons Drawn at Kingston Address
Just after 11pm on Saturday, 30th November, two armed response units arrived at a property on 1 Road with weapons trained on a second-floor window. Officers smashed the glass with a hooligan bar to force entry, sending shockwaves through the normally quiet street.
Residents Cut Off and Ordered to Stay Indoors
Uniformed officers quickly cordoned off the area, telling nearby residents to remain inside for their safety. One shaken local said, “It was very surreal and very frightening.” The atmosphere was tense as the raid unfolded under the cover of darkness.
Details Still Unclear
At this stage, it is unknown whether the raid was a planned operation or a routine action. The Met Police have been contacted for comment but are yet to release any details.
