Have to say, that’s unusually on the ball for the Express & Star…
Well, that’s enough excitement for one morning. If anyone knows who keeps making hoax bomb calls, cut their balls off for me, please.
Look, it’s not big and it’s not clever, OK? There appears to be currently another ongoing police incident on the Miner Island in central Brownhills.
Alert: @wmpolice have closed off the #Brownhills miner island because of an ongoing incident.
