Armed police stormed a property on Monday morning, following reports of a gun man in West London, the eye of media.com have heard.

Officers arrived at the property just before midnight on Monday night to investigate a rape allegation and threats to kill. The shocked officers then called for armed response when it became apparent a gun man was in the house

A specialist negotiator attended the scene and tried to negotiate with the man, but he refused to co-operate. A metropolitan police spokesperson told the eye of media.com that there was a stand off between officers and the man and given the uniqueness of the situation, negotiations continued right into the early hours of Tuesday morning, today.

At 6.50 a.m this morning,  armed Police were eventually forced to storm the property and found two 14 year old teenage girls, a woman in her 40’s, and a man believed to be the gun man, at the property. The man had been holding the women hostage,   and threatening to kill them.

A short gun was eventually located and a 31 year old man was arrested. The man remains in custody where he is being questioned. ” Forensics are still being conducted on the gun and the rape allegation is still being investigated . The incident occurred on the same day that four men began a murder trial  for the killing of Oliver Tellow who was gunned down in West London last year.  The case is expected to last up to 5 weeks, with Tellow being just one of many youngsters in London, in particular West London,  who has fallen victim to gun crime.

North West London is notorious for gang crime, with rape offences a common occurrence in many areas by unscrupulous gangsters who will stop at nothing to have their way. Many of the gang related crime in the Kilburn, Harlesden and  Stonebridge area are often drug related and many times spill over into other parties who get caught up trying to facilitate the dealings or vengeance of a gang member. Armed police have been called several time to various West London addresses, and indeed in other parts of the country . Many incidences of gun related crime are not reported to police.

A resident in the North West London area told the eye of media. com ” the bad boys in this area are really bad. They rob at gun point, kill, kidnap women and rape them for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes women get raped because of suspicion that they have grassed(reported to the police) someone up or  cheated on them, the anonymous 24 year old told the eye of media. com. I have known gang members to pay girls to set their rival up so that they can catch them and get their revenge for something”.

In one case the gang member paid this girl £500 to set up a man and pretend she likes him and wants to have sex with him. The idea was that he would then pretend to turn up at the same address ten minutes later by chance and just act surprised to see the guy and deal with the case with his back ups present. The plan was that they would take the guy out of the house and beat him then rob him, but in actual fact, they stabbed him to her horror”.

It is unclear why the woman and the girls were held hostage, but our source who knows friends of the man believes he would have felt ”wronged” by the girls and the women. He wouldn’t have done it for no reason, there is always a reason. He believes they wronged him somehow ”

Our source said there have been similar instances in which men set up by ‘honey trap’ moves have eventually been killed. ”It is terrible, down the line some of these girls get found out and get kidnapped and raped for their punishment. It’s simple tings( she means simple things), they put it like this: you are getting dxxx in your mouth and getting banged(raped) for being  fake or being a snitch”. I’ve seen it happen live before, guys have been made to drink piss, the bad boys here don’t mess about”.
