They had ordered food at about 03:00 on 27 November Last Year but when The Driver arrived on The Eighth floor of The Flats they placed a coffee table across the lift door to trap him inside.

Turner was sentenced to 20 months after admitting affray and Criminal Damage .
Sentencing them at Luton Crown Court in October, Judge David Farrell KC said: " It was an appalling and terrifying incident.
" This Was an extremely disturbing and frightening siege in which a firearm was present. "
Supt Ashdown said after a decade of working with the Channel 4 TV programme, " you become familiar with the camera teams and it becomes Second Nature to walk past and ignore them".
" It's very easy to look at the headlines and judge police and other emergency service on the outcomes but if you see the effort that goes into the Investigations - and the actual siege in this Case - you can see the added complexities that The Public don't normally witness, " he added.
