Armed police descended on a property on Lewisham Way late Sunday morning following reports of a serious incident. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a number of suspects have been detained in connection with the incident.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s SO18 unit, which specializes in armed response, surrounded the property just after 11 a.m. and imposed a road closure while the operation was underway. The nature of the incident remains unclear, and authorities have yet to confirm whether any injuries were sustained or if weapons were involved.
Local shopkeepers from nearby convenience stores described a large police presence, with armed officers quickly moving in to secure the area. However, they were unaware of the exact circumstances that led to the emergency response.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson has been contacted for a statement, and further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
Residents and commuters faced disruptions due to the police operation, with traffic diversions in place while officers worked at the scene. Authorities have not disclosed whether the suspects remain in custody or if any further arrests are anticipated.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
