Armed police evacuate and search bus on Wrexham to Chester route
Update Monday: Update from police on incident yesterday that prompted armed response with buses being searched here.
Original information below…
Armed police have stopped a bus in Gresford evacuating passengers and conducted a search.
The Arriva bus was stopped in Gresford just before 6pm.
Georgia, who was driving past the bus, told us: “There were two armed police vehicles, one cut in front of the bus to stop it and then passengers got off and everyone was in a line whilst officers were looking underneath and inside.”
One person who was on the bus itself have told us police requested all passengers to evacuate the bus while a search took place, and it appeared officers were searching for a specific individual.
@wrexham Be careful, Four armed police BMW X5 racing past Lavister up through Pulford at high speed.
