In a delightful turn of events yesterday, Humberside Police have decided to play a game of “Let’s Pretend We’re in an Action Movie” by closing down two roads in the charming town of Grimsby. Sources suggest that the catalyst for this impromptu roadblock may have been a person partaking in the thrilling hobby of magnet fishing stumbling upon what they suspect to be an unexploded ordnance device.
Now, while this tantalizing narrative hasn’t been officially confirmed by the authorities, the idea of a bomb disposal team racing to the scene certainly adds a touch of excitement to an otherwise mundane Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses at the scene report the presence of a police car, acting as the valiant guardian of public safety by obstructing the road like a faithful sentinel. Meanwhile, a cordoned-off area adds a dash of drama, as if Grimsby has suddenly become the backdrop for a no-budget movie.
In a statement that could win an award for stating the obvious, Humberside Police eloquently declared, “Emergency services are currently in attendance to an incident on Frederick Ward Way in Grimsby. Road closures are in place at Alexandra Road and Cartergate. Please avoid the area where possible.”
Grimsby, always finding new and exciting ways to keep its residents on their toes. Who needs Netflix when you’ve got unexploded ordnance devices and police cordons to entertain you? Truly, life in this quaint town is never dull.
