    Why? what is so special about Newport? Long time since I been down that way but it just another average South Wales industrial town.
    Is it gangland central now or something?

    Changed a fair bit now, the city centre has pretty much died so everything has moved out to retail parks, and they're not doing so well either. There's money being pumped into the place but it's still.... Newport.

    Probably. The in thing is for non firearms trained officers to deal with these incidents using "traditional policing methods" while the single ARV dedicated for the whole of Gwent comes from Cardiff.

    I shit ye not.

    If it happened in Lliswerry (my old area) then probably NHI anyway.
