Jerseygirl69 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Heavy traffic in Neepsend area of Sheffield due to police incident There is currently a high police presence in the Neepsend Lane area of the city and there is significant disruption for traffic and pedestrians due to a number of closed roads. Reports were received at around 5.15am this morning (Friday, 29 July) that a man had been seen with what is believed to be a firearm, entering a disused brewery at the back of Neepsend Lane. Officers were immediately deployed and secured the scene. The area being searched for the man within the brewery and disused land is vast and to ensure the public’s safety while this carried out, a number of roads have been cordoned off and will remain closed throughout the morning. The junctions at Penistone Road and Rutland Road onto Neepsend Lane are both closed as well as Burton Road and Douglas Road. Please avoid this area this morning if possible as traffic will be significantly heavier than usual and delays are very likely.

Isabelle Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm working just around the corner from the building, I can see it from here. I've had to walk the long way around because the roads are cordoned off and not even pedestrians are allowed through. We've been told to stay inside the building by the police.

dutch Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 There is no confirmation it is a firearm, could be false alarm. Better be safe than sorry and deal with it professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
