A man has been arrested after CCTV footage showed shots being fired at a house in Moreton.
As reported by the Wirral Globe, police answered a call to a house on Millhouse Mews yesterday.
Thankfully, nobody was injured.
Officers quickly attended the scene after the report, and they detained a man. An address was searched, where an air rifle, zombie knife, and BB gun were seized.
A 38-year-old man from Moreton was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and possession of an offensive weapon. He remains in police custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Phil Ryan said of the incident: "Seizing the air rifle, BB gun and knife means there are less weapons on our streets which could have been used to cause fear and intimidation in our communities."
He added: "To the untrained eye, an air rifle and BB guns can cause fear and harm to people who wouldn't know the difference between them or a more dangerous weapon if confronted with one."
DI Ryan urged residents to come forward with information about weapons in their communities. "We rely on information given to us by the public, and this makes a huge difference in identifying suspects, seizing weapons and removing suspects who would bring lethal weapons onto our streets," he said.
