Object
Yellow Crime Scene Tape on Narrow Boat
Yellow caution tape stretches around the narrow boat and flaps in the wind amid arriving ambulances, swarming police, and helicopter thrum. It cordons the area as a crime scene after Tommy Lee Royce's violent arrest, restricting access while officers manage the chaos and stretcher him away handcuffed. Catherine Cawood stands nearby clutching Ryan as the tape marks the boundary of justice served.
