BREAKING NEWS: Hostages taken in Tow Law, Mercury
12:35 pm
An armed man has taken hostages in a coffee shop in Tow Law. Armed police are currently surrounding the building, where it is believed that 32 people are held inside. The identity of the man is not yet known.
CCTV from inside the cafe shows that at 12:17 this afternoon, the man entered, ordered a drink, and sat down, seemingly waiting for the lunchtime rush. At 12:33, as a large queue was forming inside, he stood up and barricaded the doors with a table. The man then forced staff to lock the doors at gunpoint, trapping the hostages inside.
