24 police vans seen heading north

People's Patrol | 04.07.2005 00:03 | G8 2005 | Repression

Late Sunday afternoon, the People's Patrol spotted three convoys of police vans, a group of 8 motorcycle police and a tractor trailer loaded with steel barricades.

The convoys travelled on the A72 and M74. All will have by now arrived at their destinations. The police vans seat between 12-14 people and appeared to be full.

The People's Patrol is the idea that if people see security force movements, they should report them to Indymedia UK. No extra details or ranting required.

Heriot Watt university, Riccarton, Edinburgh is being used as a major police base for the G8.

Using conference and lecture facilities as well as accomodation.


Counted sunday:

6 fast patrol/response cars

9 bikes

6 vans/hired minibus

1 4x4

all of that parked temporarially at the main entrance, much more in the accomodation car parks.

Some of the vans contained Met riot squads.

Estimate 400+ officers there.

Total accomodation capacity of riccarton campus is about4,000?
