Three men have been arrested and a suspected gun has been seized after an incident in Prescot last month.
On May 24, it was reported shots were fired and a loud bang was heard, before four men were seen running away from the area. The incident happened on Kemble Street and a cordon was put in place at Market Place, stretching to parts of Sewell Street too.
There were no reports of anyone being injured and police were unable to find evidence of damage or bullets recovered. On Friday, May 26, a 17-year-old man, who can’t be named for legal reasons, was charged with modifying an imitation fire arm.
