Another multi-officer arrest in Grays High Street
By Nub News Reporter 5th Nov 2026
FOR the second time in a week, Grays High Street was the scene of a significant police presence as a man was arrested.
On Monday (2 November) armed officers were called in to deal with a man brandishing what ultimately proved to be a toy gun.
And just over 24 hours later five officers were required to subdue and arrest a man who was causing a disturbance.
A statement from Essex Police says: "We were called to reports of a disturbance on Grays High Street at 2.05pm on Tuesday 3 November.
"It was reported a man was shouting and being abusive. Officers attended and arrested a man.
"Billy Mercer, 26, of Broadway, Grays, has been charged with failing to comply with a Community Protection Notice and is due to appear at Southend Magistrates' Court on Monday, 25 January."
