Armed police responded to a call yesterday suggesting a man was seen with a firearm.
One witness, Jimmy Greaves, took photos of what he described as an armed raid in Burnt Ash Lane.
Police told News Shopper they were called to "reports of a man with a firearm" at 1.15pm before arresting a suspect.
A spokeswoman added: "Officers, including firearms officers, attended a residential address where a man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm.
"He was taken into custody and has since been released under investigation."
