The Sweeney, Leicestershire Police, Oakham, Rutland, Photographs

The Sweeney, Leicestershire Police, Oakham, Rutland, Photographs

This morning Oakham was full of police on bikes, cars, vans and under cover.

I and other members of the public observed at how well they blended into to Oakham street scene.
One man said the officer below reminded him of when Ian Beale an Eastenders Soap Star attempted to
wear a tash "it looks so false" he said.

Personally I think he has watched too many movies. When one of his fellow officers turned up, we all got a flash of yellow as he opened his coat to reveal he was wearing his high visibility.

It was hard to decide if they were in town to catch offending motorists or the people who stand behind the camera outside the library providing some locals with their much needed stuff. Since Jules appears to
have closed its doors the sellers who operated outside Rutland Radio for many years have moved on pleasing residents in the nearby flats. The move to Royce Recreation Ground has not pleased some residents in that area of town.



Photographs taken covertly from a  tree some distance away.
