Heavily armed police swarmed a Kilmarnock estate late last night following reports that a man had a weapon.
Specialist officers descended on the Onthank area of the town last night after the alarm was raised at around 9pm.
Dozens of police vehicles were dispatched to the area with a number of them stationed on Knockinlaw Road and more scouring the streets surrounding the centre of the incident in a bid to trace the man.
