Firearms officers deployed to Spiceball Park
13/11/2022
No offence had actually occurred
Visitors to Spiceball Park were shocked to see firearms officers in the park on Saturday afternoon. The officers were deployed after a member of the public reported believing they had seen somebody with a gun.
Thames Valley Police confirmed that they responded to the call, but were pleased to report that no offences had actually taken place.
A spokesperson for the force sought to reassure local people about the situation after social media was used to spread rumours speculating as to what had actually happened.
