Brighouse, Armed Police Arrest Sawnoff Shotgun Gang
From Evening Courier 5th September:
THREE men from Brighouse are still being questioned by police after a gang waved a sawn-off shotgun in front of horrified pub customers.
Police were called to The Royal Oak at Lower Edge Road, Elland, on Thursday night, after reports of three men brandishing a sawn-off shotgun.
Shots were reported to have been fired.
The men were seen in a dark-coloured Land Rover with the weapon. As they fled the pub car park, they crashed into a wall before driving off towards Rastrick.
Armed police tailed the vehicle and stopped it outside the Black Swan, Briggate, Brighouse.
Three men, two aged 34 and a 35-year-old, were arrested at the scene and taken to Halifax police station.

Easter Weekend 2018 at Solway View Campsite, Kirkcudbright, Scotland
Our Easter weekend this year camping at Solway View Campsite near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland.
Temperatures dropped below 0C during the nights and the North Easterly wind was chilly.
We had fun exploring the area, tried a bit of fishing, and sat around the fire-pit at night.
We visited Cairn Holy Neolithic Chambered Cairns and got an interesting insight into the layout of the stones from local expert Joseph Proskauer (aka CairnHoly Joe)
We had a slight disaster while taking down the tent as the strong wind caused 2 of the tent poles to snap.
All in all a great fun weekend.
