Man I almost got into something here. I heard car tires skeetch, and a bang, so I go to see where it was, at the corner of my street a accident. I heard 2 guy's yelling, so i call 911, they said they already had calls on it, the first police car pulls up with his shot gun out telling everyone to get on the ground!
Blow me, i come out of Hobbycraft and another one has turned up. Guessing they stopped at Costa Coffee.
at the Police Equestrian Competition in Morristown, New Jersey, 2006. This guy (Sgt. George Survillo?) works in Boston, Massachusetts. Such a presence! Huge horse, both of them larger than life. A very friendly guy but I wouldn't want to cross him... :-)
August 2013 the Te Runga cub pack visited the Masterton police station. Thanks very much to the staff that made this a fun & interesting evening out.
He was one of three policemen killed on duty at a robberyat a jewellers that came to be known as the Houndsditch Murders. Given a state funeral and posthumous award from the King. Two other policeman were crippled for life.
The gang, in escaping an attempted robbery of a jeweller in Houndsditch killed three policemen and crippled two more for life. They were eventually found in Sidney Street where the famous siege of Sidney Street began. As the story unfolds, the figure emerges of the man who killed three English policemen but who lived to become a hero of the October Revolution and head of the Soviet Cheka.

Houndsditch Murders and the Siege of Sidney Street (True Crime) (Paperback)
by Donald Rumbelow (Author) ISBN 0491031785, out of print but, available from amazon etc
From Wikipedia,the following>On 16 December 1910, a gang of Latvian revolutionaries attempted to break into the rear of a jeweller's shop at 119 Houndsditch, EC3, working from 9, 10 & 11 Exchange Buildings in the cul-de-sac behind. An adjacent shopkeeper heard their hammering, informed the City of London Police (in whose area the shop was), and nine unarmed officers - three sergeants and six constables (two in plain-clothes) - converged on Exchange Buildings.
Sergeants Bentley and Bryant knocked at No. 11 Exchange Buildings, unaware that the first constable on the scene had already done so, thus alerting the gang. The gang's actual leader, George Gardstein, opened the door, but when he did not answer their questions they assumed he did not understand English and told him to fetch someone who did. Gardstein left the door half-closed and disappeared. The house consisted of a single ground-floor room, into which the front door directly opened, with a staircase leading to the upper floors on the left, and a door to the open yard at the back on the right. It was later deduced that Gardstein must have moved towards the staircase, since if he had gone out the yard door he would have been seen by one of the plain-clothed officers standing outside, who had a clear view that side of the room. Growing impatient, the two sergeants entered the house to find the room apparently empty, before they became aware of a man standing in the darkness at the top of the stairs. After a short conversation, another man entered through the yard door, rapidly firing a pistol, while the man on the stairs also started shooting. Both officers were hit, with Bentley collapsing across the doorstep, while Bryant managed to stagger outside. In the street, constable Woodhams ran to help Bentley, but was himself wounded by one of the gang firing from the cover of the house, as was sergeant Tucker, who died almost instantly. Sergeant Bentley also died as a result of his injuries (on his wedding anniversary. His wife had given birth to a baby boy on the previous Wednesday).[1]
The gang then attempted to break out of the cul-de-sac, their actual leader George Gardstein being grabbed by Constable Choate almost at the entrance. In the struggle Choate was wounded several times by Gardstein, before being shot five more times by other members of the gang, who also managed to hit their compatriot in the back. They then dragged Gardstein three-quarters of a mile to 59 Grove Street, where he died the next day. Constable Choate and Sergeant Bentley died in separate hospitals the same day. An intense search followed, and a number of the gang or their associates were soon arrested.
On 2 January 1911, an informant told police that two or three of the gang, possibly including Peter the Painter himself, were hiding at 100 Sidney Street, Stepney (in the Metropolitan Police District). Worried that the suspects were about to flee, and expecting heavy resistance to any attempt at capture, on 3 January two hundred men cordoned off the area and the siege began. At dawn the battle commenced.
The defenders, though heavily outnumbered, possessed superior weapons and great stores of ammunition. The Tower of London was called for backup, and word got to Home Secretary Winston Churchill, who arrived on the spot to observe the incident first hand, and to offer advice. Churchill authorised calling in a detachment of Scots Guards to assist the police. Six hours into the battle, and just as the field artillery piece that Churchill had authorized arrived, a fire began to consume the building. When the fire brigade arrived Churchill refused them access to the building. The police stood ready, guns aimed at the front door, waiting for the men inside to attempt their escape. The door never opened. Inside the remains of two members of the gang, Fritz Svaars and William Sokolow (both were also known by numerous aliases), were recovered. No sign of Peter Paiktow (Peter the Painter) was ever found.It was said that he escaped and returned to Russia and ended up being Lenin's right hand man![
It has been recorded that a Firemen died following the partial collapse of the building following the fire whilst searching for the bodies,and another five seriously injured.
I'll check on this at the brigade museum and let you know.!
