Police conducting firearms training in North tonight

Police in the North are warning residents not to be alarmed seeing a police presence tonight near a school.

The Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team took to Facebook to say that the Tactical Firearms Unit will be training at Ramsey Grammar School this evening with blank ammunition.

The force says it's to help Firearms Officers to be fully prepared for all eventualities and provides invaluable training through the use of new training venues.

They say that nearby residents should not be concerned.
