Man arrested on suspicion of having a gun after Telford 'road rage' incident sparks manhunt
A man has been arrested on suspicion of a firearms offence after a manhunt following a "road rage-related incident" in Telford.
Two drivers were involved in the incident in Mossey Green Way in central Telford which was reported to police at about 6.20pm yesterday (March 10).
One of the men was thought to have had a gun in his possession. West Mercia Police deployed officers to search for the suspect, supported by a National Police Air Service helicopter.
A 26-year-old man was located at an address in Lawley soon after, and arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
He remains in custody as police enquiries continue.
Inspector Marc Whild said: “We understand incidents of this nature can cause concern to the public, but we want to reassure the community that we responded quickly and a man is now in custody assisting us with our enquiries.
"Officers are likely to remain in the area this evening as further enquiries are carried out, and we encourage anyone with concerns to speak to us.”
