Default why is there an essex police helicopter about 100ft above my house?

i forget the name of the guy on here that's in police interceptors, but if he spots this maybe he can shed some light as to why my house is being buzzed by a black and yellow chopper?

it's been around for a few weeks now and makes a bloody row when it's hovering, pretty interesting the first couple of times, a royal pain in **** on a sleepy sunday!

bit of a rant, bit of a genuine query. is it just exercises or should i get out my dog the bounty hunter gear and hunt some crooks?

When they come back from a job they'll leave the IR camera on checking for excessive heat coming from a rooftop, usually a good indicator they are growing cannabis in the loft.....

not left your "loft lights" on have you

Essex Police are now sharing the helicopter with the Kent Police.

apparently, they can read the glass code on a rear window from 3 miles away, in the dark, with their eyes shut.

Allways a bit worrying really,
Q. "Why is the police helicopter hovering overhead?"
A. Because there is a mad axe murderer on the loose, who is desperately trying to find somewhere to hide from the helicopter and ideally find another few victims!!!!!!!!!
