Hinckley: So, today was a bit wild! Armed officers were seen at the old Holliers Walk Primary School. It got folks talking, and not in a good way.
People were sharing videos online, showing officers with guns and a battering ram. It looked pretty intense, and you could feel the concern in the air.
This school has been empty since 2016, so seeing all those officers moving around was definitely a surprise. Some residents were worried about what was going on.
One witness said they were a bit freaked out at first. They thought, “Should we move? What if there’s someone dangerous inside?” Totally understandable, right?
But then they noticed signs in the parking lot saying it was just a training exercise. Leicestershire Police confirmed that, but they didn’t share much else. They kept it pretty vague.
When asked why they picked a school for this training, the police didn’t have much to say. It’s a bit odd, but hey, at least it wasn’t anything serious!
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s hope for calmer days ahead!
