Local Lawyers Swatted

 

Local solicitors found themselves on the wrong side of the long arm of the law today, when a armed police unit stormed their offices, following a 'tip off' about a firearm. 

The tip off turned out to be false and luckily both solicitors residing in the office were completely unharmed, along with a potential client.

Weatherfield Police are said to be 'looking into' whomever made the call, but we here at the Recorder wont hold our breath. However, the police also sent out a reminder that swatting, the act of making a false claim about a firearm, is a serious crime, which can lead to a life sentence, depending on the severity of the incident.
