Posto di blocco? Una trovata pubblicitaria dice Orde

Roadblock a stunt says PSNI chief

The police patrol who came across an armed road block in south Armagh were right to pull back, PSNI Chief Constable Hugh Orde has said.

Hugh Orde, capo della polizia nordirlandeseOn Friday night up to eight men armed with a machine gun and a grenade launcher, blocked a road in Meigh, near Newry.

They distributed leaflets warning locals not to cooperate with the police or Sinn Fein.

“It was just a stunt by a group trying to be relevant,” said Sir Hugh Orde.

“I’m absolutely convinced they (the police patrol) took the right action when they came across it.

“This sort of activity will not put us off community policing and will not put the community off community policing.”

Sir Hugh, who steps down as chief constable on 1 September, said the road block would not put people off supporting the PSNI.

“We will continue to protect the communities as best we can, with their support and I know they will not let us down,” he said.

“This organisation and this community is going in the right direction, these people will not prevent it, whatever they try to do.”
