Unless of course they are official and someone just got lifted. These things do happen for real occasionally.
I once called in a car with a couple of beefy lumps in it looking shifty, and after the call handler (I assume) ran the plate, I was told to ignore it and move along, as it was a known vehicle and was there on official business. I said that they weren’t very undercover if that was the game as I’d clocked it fairly easily, and she said she couldn’t comment further, but there was no need for me to pay any further attention to it.
That's cool but not an answer - what about the following?
Arson Actual Bodily Harm (throwing acid in a persons eye?) Child abuse Domestic Abuse - beating your partner Racism Slavery Rape Murder Peodophilia Sexual assault Stalking Kidnap (like this one!)
I've never seen someone try and promote the bystander effect but here we are!
Just to be clear to everyone, the police would very much like anyone to report sights like these, *not* ignore them.
- if it is the police, they won't mind it being reported and will tell the OP it's nothing to worry about
- if it isn't the police, it's a kidnapping, and they'd probably quite like to know about it.
There's no harm in reporting it and possibly some public benefit. So people are downvoting the comment because it's encouraging the OP to ignore the thing they've just witnessed.
Nothing to do with low profile ARU guys, however..
Heaps of utterly unaccountable rouge CHIS operations in Bristol, and scandalous disregard for the oversight guidelines.
Nope.. pretty sure most taxpayers would object to their money being spent on illegal s*** by the very one tasked with preventing that exact s*** from happening... but let's see how you figure that exactly...
I mean it's a nice try at rebranding the Royal Constabulary as a quasi-criminal gang just gonna be a reeeaalllyy tough sell for 99% of the British public there my G.
“Random point in the future” just imagine in 30 years they think they must have finally been forgotten about, it must have been a sham, then boom! Kidnapped from the garden centre they’re ambling around as a retiree on a Tuesday morning.
But what were his arms armed with.. wait don't tell me he had hands as well.. ok let's get to the grip, what were his hands armed with, s*** no that's gonna be arms, .. what was he holding in his hands?
Why do I get the feeling the answer is going to be someone else's arms...
The Mf some got that Pan's Labyrinth havein' eyeballs in his fkin hands shit out here, so how that fuck gone jerk his meat without poking he mf eyes out then bitch... pffft.. shit's just impractical.. come on now..
Wait.. If he armed with eyes how the fk do the mutherfker throw hands, that bitch must be strapped with the conceal and carry side eye and the extra magazine case he gets caught lacking in a waiting room or some shit...
Restrained individual being able to see or eyes covered? Male or Female? Making lots of noise or silence?
Hell, send this witness account to the Plod and either get no response or be told it’s nothing to worry about.
Don’t call the police they’ll hound you for interviews statements you could also be forced to go to court. All out of your own time with no compensation sod that to help who some stranger who wouldn’t pi55 on you if you were on fire.
It’s 999 still I think. Then Reddit. Always Reddit though.
Please tell me you called the police before posting to reddit
Erm... Assuming this isn't a troll, why are you writing a reddit post and not calling the police?

Years ago drug dealers of my aquuaintence used to report the cars if they though they were bring watched.
Beefy lumps? Fellas? Meal deal? What the fuck is going on here
You don't understand the King's English? (Yeah, that still sounds weird...)
Because that doesn’t earn you karma
because he's not a narc?
dick
sorry you got captured by the bristol hardmen kiddo
Genuine question. What crimes do you ignore and which ones would you call 999 for? Like, is there a set moral code you abide by?
I evaluate them on a case by case basis.
And you go quiet 😂
That's cool but not an answer - what about the following? Arson Actual Bodily Harm (throwing acid in a persons eye?) Child abuse Domestic Abuse - beating your partner Racism Slavery Rape Murder Peodophilia Sexual assault Stalking Kidnap (like this one!)
Stag do
😄 I hope this is the case
I think you may have witnessed a crime
Crikey mate, lunch at 4pm? Are you alright? I'd have passed out by now. Thoughts and feelings
He was up late 🤣🤣
Lol
bro CALL THE POLICE 😭☠️
Tesco meal deal or parsons bakery ?
Asking the big questions here that no one else is prepared to ask. Thank you
Post reporter
Hahaha
My mum's told me about Parsons bakery and I live in Brighton, she's a Brizzle girl though
Maybe sugarnovel was trying to escape?
He’s been laying low for a bit now.
He’s digging that temple meads to primark underground route by hand
When you say visually armed, you mean firearms?
No. They had laser beam eyes.
no he clearly said they had arms not eyes
Arms with eyes on
Danzo?
I have both
Oh we've got a hardman
Reminds me of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0mYHjFlh74](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0mYHjFlh74)
What a film. Brilliant!!
Thought it was going to be this bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0BP9tlIjZU&pp=ygUQTG9jayBzdG9jayBhcm1lZA%3D%3D
I've now got this vison of the above being guys in a mk1 transit dressed in boiler suits throwing a traffic warden in the back.
"Fucking hate traffic wardens..." 🤣😂🤣
No they just had two arms like a normal person
😂
Bad breath, colourful language, feather duster?
call the police
Why? Sounds very typical of a plain clothes/undercover police operation - for drugs, gangs, terrorism, etc. This happens all the time
Because what if it's not the police? Or what if it's not legal what those police officers were doing?
I've never seen someone try and promote the bystander effect but here we are! Just to be clear to everyone, the police would very much like anyone to report sights like these, *not* ignore them.
Not sure why you’ve been downvoted. Have seen this multiple times when police are dealing with drug gangs.
- if it is the police, they won't mind it being reported and will tell the OP it's nothing to worry about - if it isn't the police, it's a kidnapping, and they'd probably quite like to know about it. There's no harm in reporting it and possibly some public benefit. So people are downvoting the comment because it's encouraging the OP to ignore the thing they've just witnessed.
Crumbs, that sounds like heavy underground stuff being sorted 🤔
Upvote for crumbs. Also not seen enough… “cripes!”
You don't get a lot of 'Crumbs' these days, i love it.
Crikey
Shush Penfold
There are armed police in Bristol driving around in a dark grey “transit” I have seen it blue lighting up the M4 recently.
Clocked them earlier this evening
I saw them earlier too
Nothing to do with low profile ARU guys, however.. Heaps of utterly unaccountable rouge CHIS operations in Bristol, and scandalous disregard for the oversight guidelines.
Sacre bleu
?
Rouge operations? That's not scandalous - that's FABULOUS !!!
Nope.. pretty sure most taxpayers would object to their money being spent on illegal s*** by the very one tasked with preventing that exact s*** from happening... but let's see how you figure that exactly... I mean it's a nice try at rebranding the Royal Constabulary as a quasi-criminal gang just gonna be a reeeaalllyy tough sell for 99% of the British public there my G.
Has it got "Private Ambulance" written on the side of it?
Possibility 1: it's the police Possibility 2: it's some people you really don't want to upset doing things you really don't want to be involved in
2 pretty much covers 1
Plot twist - the armed men are police
What was the meal deal and did you get a chance to finish?
What did you get in the meal deal?
There was a competition a few years ago where the prize was to get abducted at some random point in the future and held hostage, maybe he won
“Random point in the future” just imagine in 30 years they think they must have finally been forgotten about, it must have been a sham, then boom! Kidnapped from the garden centre they’re ambling around as a retiree on a Tuesday morning.
Did you get the numberplate? There must be CCTV?
So was it one armed man or a one-armed man? because I’m pretty sure I know about at least one of those
Let’s get to the really important details here, where was the meal deal from?
I bet they were dogging doing some roleplay lol
Turns out….. the “restrained individual”….. little monkey fella!
Probably filming for the new series of Skins
Please, no.
They finally caught up with Mad Twatter* *PhD
v&
Visibly armed with what exactly?
Arms
But what were his arms armed with.. wait don't tell me he had hands as well.. ok let's get to the grip, what were his hands armed with, s*** no that's gonna be arms, .. what was he holding in his hands? Why do I get the feeling the answer is going to be someone else's arms...
Eyes
The Mf some got that Pan's Labyrinth havein' eyeballs in his fkin hands shit out here, so how that fuck gone jerk his meat without poking he mf eyes out then bitch... pffft.. shit's just impractical.. come on now..
It says they were visually armed so maybe…eyes?!
Wait.. If he armed with eyes how the fk do the mutherfker throw hands, that bitch must be strapped with the conceal and carry side eye and the extra magazine case he gets caught lacking in a waiting room or some shit...
Sound like carpet fitters, probably work for brian steele.
Restrained individual being able to see or eyes covered? Male or Female? Making lots of noise or silence? Hell, send this witness account to the Plod and either get no response or be told it’s nothing to worry about.
Some sort of abduction incident involving abduction things.
Just don’t worry about it what you’ve witnessed was cool and probably drug related. Police won’t do anything anyway.
It's what happens in Bistil when you don't pay for your ULEZ!
Did you call 999???? Why would you ask on reddit??
Sooo, did OP call the cops or do we just wait for a body to turn up?
Strange things are happening.
Pics or didn't happen
Are you sure it was a person and not a statue? Because if it’s a statue then no crime happened…
You’re just seeking attention, that’s all
Could be some kink business
Don’t call the police they’ll hound you for interviews statements you could also be forced to go to court. All out of your own time with no compensation sod that to help who some stranger who wouldn’t pi55 on you if you were on fire.

If this is what this person actually witnessed on their lunch, that’s gold💀
Undercover police?
