AIBU - sounds like I'm being nosey but WTAF is going on.

Live in a street, detached house but houses close together, new estate.

Last night, around 12 uniformed Police & 2 plain clothes arrive NEXT door. Outside for about 30mins no police cars/vans just a lot of radioing/phone usage.

Half the police then go round the back of said neighbours house into their garden.

Nothing, no drama in the street, no one taken out the house etc. Hour later all police disappear.

I'm just hanging around in my house now & 3 marked police vans arrive again, all get out, try and gain entry again to next door.

A. I'm a bit of a "hate this sort of thing going on outside my house etc as the police vans parked outside MY house (great!!!)

B. Jesus what is going on to warrant so many police?

C. Fuck sake!

D. Where the hell ARE my neighbours?

E. This will out me (hopefully not) but ZZ lister lives there

F. I actually hope they are ok!?

So my question is AIBU to want to know what the hell is going on????

Never too late at night to do a bit of light pruning in the front garden, OP.

I missed a few pages...is the EE suspect theory confirmed?

Also, as I'm not in the UK you can inform the cops it's now -officially- a matter of international concern, and that as I'm a few hours ahead, updates are requested sooner rather than later Grin

Is the local news not reporting on this? Give them a call and they'll find out the facts.

I'd be the same, itching to know what's going on. I'm like Vera off Corrie, a right nosey cow. Haha.

stonechallenge · 22/04/2016 19:35

I mean a SERIOUS amount of coppers, vans, cars etc

Surely a hit & run would just be investigated!?

Not ram raided by all entries (oooo errrrr!)

If it is something very serious (which I think it is)

Not place marking at all Grin

On a scale of 1-10, how famous are they? With 1 being Madonna and 10 being the make up lady from This Morning?

TakeItFromMe · 22/04/2016 19:44

I'm worried for you now OP. If it does make the tabloids then your house may be in the papers. Better get out there and make sure it looks presentable Grin

rainbowstardrops · 22/04/2016 19:44

Get your arse outside and under the bonnet of your car OP! While you're there, discretely take photos on your phone and post them on here!

BadDoGooder · 22/04/2016 19:45

Just got back!
Glad to know it wasn't you OP Wink

Def sounds like drugs raid to me.

(btw feds is old round my way now...it's the "po po" here!)

Iamdazedandconfused · 22/04/2016 19:45

It would have to be a huge drugs operation to require that many officers! Maybe a hefty drugs operation/complex money laundering type thing?

SiencynArsecandle · 22/04/2016 19:46

Better get out there and make sure it looks presentable

Are there any more jobs OP can possibly find? Hers must be the tidiest house in the UK now. Just one Friday afternoon and the lawns been trimmed, hedges cut, car washed, windows cleaned inside and out, gutters sorted - ooh maybe jetwash the drive?

TakeItFromMe · 22/04/2016 19:47

Minty from Eastenders doesn't look like a money launderer to me

[wild stab in the dark]

TakeItFromMe · 22/04/2016 19:48

I think her sills need repainting and the hanging baskets look WAY scruffy.

Tsk OP.

Am desperately googling variations of "celeb drugs bust" and coming up empty Sad

BoatyMcBoat · 22/04/2016 19:51

I think you should channel Nora Batty and hoik up your bosom, stalk out there and demand to know what's going on outside your house. Perhaps you could mutter "thought this was a nice neighbourhood" at some point, and I will give you a gold star if you manage to get 'beatnik' in too. Grin
