Armed police have stormed a flat after a man was spotted ‘brandishing a gun’ inside a Walsall church.

Members of the public raised the alarm after the suspect was seen waving what appeared to be a shotgun within St Paul’s Church in Darwall Street on Thursday morning (September 10).

Armed officers were quickly deployed to the area and the police helicopter scrambled in a bid to locate the suspect.

Police secured and publicised a CCTV image of the suspect which prompted further sightings.

Local enquiries led officers to a flat in Sandwell Street, Walsall, where a suspect was arrested just before 8pm.

A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and was placed in police custody.
