Large police convoy including search and rescue team spotted in Bramford

What happened: A convoy of three marked police cars and a search and rescue vehicle traveled along Hadleigh Road with blues and twos going.

• The marked vehicles stopped traffic to allow the search and rescue vehicle to safely move through the area.
• The convoy turned right at the end of Hadleigh Road, then right again onto Lorraine Way towards Sproughton.
• It came to a stop at a layby just before the Church View development on the B113 in Bramford.

What they're saying: When asked about the nature of the activity, officers at the scene stated it was a training exercise but Suffolk Constabulary have been unable to verify this, stating that the Central Control Room "weren’t of anything this could be."

The bottom line: While the convoy may have caused some disruption and intrigue, it appears to have been part of routine police training rather than a response to an emergency situation, but we'll continue to monitor it closely.
