Major Incident declared following helicopter crash

At 15:30 hours on the 12th of September 2025 officers received a distress call from one of the National Police Air Service Helicopters. Upon arriving, officers discovered the helicopter burnt out and the wreckage found in between a small wall and a warehouse. Officers attempted to approach the helicopter but it was unstable and was still dangerously hot. At approximately 15:33 a Major Incident was declared by an RTPC Sergeant. LFB, LAS and HEMS all worked together to extricate the one casualty from the wreckage and after around 10 minutes of advanced treatment and life saving measures, miraculously the casualty had survived and has been transported to hospital, believed to be in a critical condition.
