A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including possession of a knife, after Police descended on a residential address in Shanklin yesterday evening (Sunday).
Officers responded to the scene on Josephs Way in the town at around 16:58, after receiving reports of an ongoing domestic incident.
At least 5 vehicles were in attendance at the address.
It has been confirmed that a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray, criminal damage, common assault, and possession of an offensive weapon – namely a knife.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary says the male remains in custody at this time.
5 vehicles responded to one bloke, was that just in case lol.
The problem is most cars are single crewed
but every officer is trained to deal with this kind of situation, i think two or three could have dealt with it and the others could be out solving other crimes
Rubbish, every time i’m in a Police car or van, there are at least 3/4 plod in there with me.
How much meth did you smoke?
You can’t smoke in there silly bollox !
Whatever you say, methhead
Not sure if 5 crews were needed, if he was armed and dangerous why not just send the armed police to take him out? Job done, no further problems
beautiful place and tenants ..
joseph way…when i was a postie there 15 years ago it was bad then lol
All low life should be put in one place, like that caravan park at lake or Oakfield flats, then the Police would know where to find them and it wouldn’t waste decent houses on trash people.
THEY ALREADY ARE…..!
Sorry Liz been here 20+years and not had any problems it’s quiet this was first time police have come up here for something serious and I didn’t hear a thing and no I’m not deaf And tenants are decent people here there’s a few I’d be happy to see the back of but you get that anywhere
