Armed officers descended on Kingswood today (Friday, April 22) after police received a tip-off about a man possibly carrying a firearm. An anonymous caller contacted the police at 1.35pm and said they had seen a man entering a property, and that he may have had a firearm.
Armed police officers arrived and forced entry into the address but they found it empty, and did not find any firearms. They then searched the area and did not find anyone matching the description of the man.
An eyewitness told Bristol Live that they saw police enter the apartment and heard shouting. Pictures from the scene show at least three firearm officers stationed outside the apartment block.
