A police convoy was seen moving through Ipswich on Wednesday, catching the attention of many local residents and drivers before stopping in Bramford.
What happened: A convoy of three marked police cars and a search and rescue vehicle traveled along Hadleigh Road with blues and twos going.
The marked vehicles stopped traffic to allow the search and rescue vehicle to safely move through the area.
The convoy turned right at the end of Hadleigh Road, then right again onto Lorraine Way towards Sproughton.
It came to a stop at a layby just before the Church View development on the B113 in Bramford.
What they're saying: When asked about the nature of the activity, officers at the scene stated it was a training exercise but Suffolk Constabulary have been unable to verify this, stating that the Central Control Room "weren’t of anything this could be."
The bottom line: While the convoy may have caused some disruption and intrigue, it appears to have been part of routine police training rather than a response to an emergency situation, but we'll continue to monitor it closely.
