Major incident happening in West Perth on Channel 34, loads of vehicles going P2, told to turn off sirens before getting near. Looking at dedicating a channel to it. Units on scene requesting ballistic vests.

They have just gone over to 26.

It's happening right by where I work. Streets are blocked off. Word I got from the guys I work with is they are entering a building with guns drawn.

Wish I knew. All I know is one of our guys came back from lunch and said they've blocked off the roads.

Earlier around 1pm I saw two units parked on the sidewalk at the corner of Colin and Hay St with four cops standing together talking. I was wondering what they were doing there.

Not sure what is happening, 26 is quite, last I heard was GC639 saying to make sure sirens are turned off before arrival "we don't want this going off" not sure what they meant by that.

2:30PM (approx) GC113, GC107 and two unmarked black commodores on scene as well as ambulance and news. Four uniformed officers and one who looked like a detective (white shirt, black over vest).

Appartments on the corner of Hay St & Colin St are taped off.

A bystander said something about hostages and someone threating own life. <--- This could be complete BS though...
