Armed Cops Storm Birmingham Petrol Station: Seven Arrested and Arsenal of Weapons Seized

A huge police raid at a birmingham/">Birmingham petrol station has led to the arrest of seven suspects and the recovery of a terrifying cache of guns, knives, and stun guns.

There were dramatic scenes in the early hours of this morning (7 May) when armed police officers, drone teams, and dog handlers swooped on the Gulf petrol station on Washwood Heath Road at around 2.30am.
