Police and fire services spotted in North Acton

A large police presence and “at least” one fire engine were spotted outside Woodward Halls on Friday 9th May. Students attested to seeing canine units within the area, as well as diverted traffic on Victoria Road.
Activity in the area did not end until “around 8pm”.
It is unclear why the police were in the area. The Metropolitan Police did not comment, citing that “the Met’s newsdesk does not have the resource to work on stories from student outlets at the moment.”
The incident was not related to Woodward or Imperial College. Woodward Halls declined to comment.
