Three people are in custody following the armed swoop in Crawley West Sussex this evening. One shocked bystander said at first they thought it was just a few drunks out shouting after having a few drinks then after a double take looked out the window I saw three men being ordered to lay on the floor by  Warhammer armed Police officers.
