A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence following an incident at an address in Sandown last night (Thursday).
Police received reports of a man with a weapon on Leed Street, off The Broadway, at just gone 22:00.
Armed Police were deployed to the scene and the specialist officers conducted enquiries in the area. An air rifle was later recovered.
Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that a 59-year-old man has been arrested and he remains in Police custody at this time.
This latest incident on Leed Street comes just days after a hazardous materials alert was sparked when a corrosive substance was sprayed on the front door of a property.
UPDATE – The 59-year-old man has been released from Police custody without charge, but remains under investigation at this time.
Probably didn’t get his housing benefit!
You seem to spend a lot of time on this site making stupid remarks! Are you actually working yourself or do you still live with mummy and daddy? Cause you are certainly acting like a child!
of course he/she lives with mummy and daddy. Probably still has a bed time to. Clearly a very inadequate individual, that needs to make insensitive remarks to get a bit of attention. Probably no friends either – billy no mates.
So funny lol
Of course not, from the west Wight. Nothing to do but dream up exciting scenarios
Crease up haha
scary ! I walk my 4 year old daughter down that road sometimes and to think a nut case with an air rifle is walking around where I live !!!!
Hopefully Lucy, he won’t be walking around there anymore!
Don’t reckon he’ll be needing his housing beings inside!!
Right outside my front door no need for too much alarm been dealt with over the top to b honest ,he needs correct help not the sumising by people
