Table View residents were left confused when the army rolled into the neighbourhood without explanation.

The police swooped in but minutes later so did the army, creating a stir among baffled residents.

“When people see the army coming into the area with the flying squad they think something major is happening. Why do we need the help of the army now when we’ve done these types of operations before?” said Lemos. “About four army vehicles came in and blocked the whole street and people didn’t know what was going on. I suppose they can’t tell the public what’s going on because it’ll compromise the raid but there were a lot of freaked out people.”
