About 1415 on Thursday 071295 I was on duty on mobile traffic patrol in company with PC 2073. We were static at the Five Bells Roundabout engaged as an armed response unit in company with Northern A.R.V. CT92.

Due to a radio message concerning a suspect vehicle a Mitsubishi Shogun index number D883HVX we attended the Murco petrol station situated a short distance away on the A13. At this location I saw the suspect vehicle containing three male persons.

One of these persons described as 5'10 tall with short dark brown swept back hair, clean shaven wearing a purple ski suit was already out of the vehicle. PC ABBOTT instructed him to walk to the safe side of the police vehicle which he agreed to do. I made a cursory search of him.

This male I now know as Graham George LAW and handcuffed him. I then said, "You are under arrest on suspicion of murder and possession of a firearm in a public place with intent to endanger life". After caution he replied, "It's nothing to do with me I'm innocent".

He was then conveyed to Basildon Police Station where he saw a Custody Sergeant.
