An unmarked military convoy was spotted passing travelling along Eastway in Fulwood at around 4.25pm on Wednesday (March 23).

Speculation grew online as locals theorised what the convoy was for, from moving nuclear warheads to criminals being transported.

The incident came as Boris Johnson urged allies to “step up” support against the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Prime Minister will use a Nato emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday (March 24) to commit to a new package, including 6,000 more missiles for Ukraine.
