Police lift Riddiford St cordon following reports of ‘suspicious item’

  • November 19, 2025

Staff member Leroy Patton-Goldsbury said “no one was freaking out” after they shut the doors.

“It was kind of a weird feeling, I guess, to be told to stay inside, but, you know, obviously police had it under control and were dealing with it.

“People were pretty level-headed about it and just staying in good spirits.”

As of 7.10PM the cordon had been lifted.

Police could not comment further.
