“The force treats all firearms offences extremely seriously and is committed to taking weapons far away from our communities,” said Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson of Nottinghamshire Police.

“We have now arrested a suspect in connection with this incident, but our investigation remains ongoing. Anyone who suspects any firearms activity in their area should always contact the police straight away on 101, or report this to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
