A POLICE incident in Worcester has been captured by a resident in the area.

A resident took these pictures showing a police car and two officers parked on Astwood Road, at the roundabout adjacent to The New Chequers pub.

He claims that the road was sealed off for an hour and there were numerous armed police vehicles heading towards Brickfields Road. 

He said: "This is 3.30pm today at the roundabout next to The New Chequers.

"The road was sealed off for about an hour and a car was removed before the Green Lane roundabout.

"There were also numerous armed police vehicles going under the bridge towards brickfields.

"In the picture, the road up towards Rainbow Hill is sealed by the police car.

"I think traffic coming from Green Lane, wanting to proceed up Rainbow Hill was also restricted.

"I think the car you can see further up the road was part of a police incident that was not an accident."
