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????

If it's a Z list sleb then I assume some sort of stalker/potential break in. I'm just place marking though. Twitching my virtual net curtains for you.

TakeItFromMe · 22/04/2016 12:40

I think it's Ziggy, the one who was in Big Brother some years ago and went out with Chanelle Hayes.

The clue was the extra Z.

ooh I love a bit of mystery on a Friday afternoon!

as an ex-copper's ex wife (so little to no authority on this) - that many officers - probably drugs raid. they would have gone in though unless they don't have a warrant (very unlikely), could also be a concern for welfare if they keep going back, but again very odd that they don't just blast the door in like they used to on the bill.
or having read OP again - it could be a stalker! not the OP of course, but if they keep going to check the back of the house then they could be waiting to find someone other than OP and half of MN hiding in the bushes.

GinaBambino · 22/04/2016 12:54

or has neighbour just locked themselves out and is hoping the police will help them get back in. As they are a ZZ lister they don't want to be stood on the street so have de-camped to another location

AyeAmarok · 22/04/2016 12:56

Oh ask the police if there is something going on that you need to be aware of.

oldmum22 · 22/04/2016 12:59

Going on the amount of Police shows I watch , I reckon , neighbour is in custody for something already and the Police are now doing a search of the house to find a)drugs, b)Offensive images c)money d) a body.( Just in case anyone is offended I am being lighthearted).

MangoMoon · 22/04/2016 13:01

Am also place marking for grand reveal of ZZ lister..,.

HolditFinger · 22/04/2016 13:01

I'm dying to know what's going on now! And who the ZZ is

Buzzardbird · 22/04/2016 13:01

OP appears to have disappeared. Did the Police get the wrong house?

thunderpunt · 22/04/2016 13:02

Op has disappeared.....arrested for hampering police investigation by continuous bin emptying/garden fence painting and front doorstep sweeping??

DinosaursRoar · 22/04/2016 13:03

That many police does sound like they were expecting to have to search the house once they got there, but something that's not urgent enough to break the door down, so probably not drugs.

Years ago we lived across the road from a business man who was as dodgy as fuck - one evening police turned up in numbers like that and removed lots of files, computers and piles of paper. Turned out he was suspected of some sort of fraud, but evenutally was found not guilty and they threw a massive trashy party with big "not guilty!" signs all over the house.

anyway that's my place marked

KitKat1985 · 22/04/2016 13:05

OP where are you? Is there an update?

KitKat1985 · 22/04/2016 13:06

I would guess drug raid, but would have thought that if that was the case they would have a warrant and would have forced entry.

GundogFrankie · 22/04/2016 13:08

OP could you call 101/your local police station/tweet a neighbourhood PCSO and ask what the crack is?

I don't know if they would tell you though (you might need to be VERY concerned!)

SaucyJack · 22/04/2016 13:08

My money's on CJ de Mooi.

PastaPrincess · 22/04/2016 13:09

OP I'm hoping your absence is due to you giving the windows a really good clean Wink

BadDoGooder · 22/04/2016 13:10

Gah!
Still no update.

I'm actually starting to wonder if the police have arrested the OP!

twirlypoo · 22/04/2016 13:13

Look, Ds isn't sleeping so I just don't have the brain power to think up an anecdote or potential theory. Please can we consider this my place mark in lieu of all intelligent remarks? Thanks - come back soon OP!

Uncoping · 22/04/2016 13:14

Where is the OP!
Who is the ZZ lister?

Totally place marking!

TakeItFromMe · 22/04/2016 13:14

OP has collapsed exhausted on doorstep due to excessive window cleaning and hedge trimming

Somebody call the police to do a welfare check!

Ivegotyourgoat · 22/04/2016 13:20

Does zz listers name begin with C?

Kidnapped · 22/04/2016 13:22

I'm going for Coleen Nolan.

BillSykesDog · 22/04/2016 13:25

Is anybody thinking what I'm thinking. The coppers were never after the Cheeky Girl next door. They were after OP. She's been nicked and is currently on her way to remand in Wormwood Scrubs for the massive meth lab in her kitchen.

Honestly, people never know these days when they're just taking their mummy businesses TOO DAMN FAR do they?

member · 22/04/2016 13:26

Is the zz lister on Eggheads?

SabineUndine · 22/04/2016 13:27
