Two men have been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm following a disorder.

Police were called to a report of an altercation in the Moredon area yesterday (21 September). Threats were made but nobody was injured in the incident.

Following on from that, armed officers were today (22 September) deployed to an address in Horta Close, Tadpole Garden Village.

At the scene, two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and are currently in police custody.

One of the males reportedly fled the location when officers arrived but was soon arrested after being pulled out of a nearby bush.

Wiltshire Police says there is “no risk to the public”, adding that there will be a police presence in the local area this afternoon.
