Armed police arrest two at flats | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
Armed police have arrested two men after people reported hearing gunshots near a block of flats in Liverpool. | |
Officers were called to Breck Road, Anfield, at about 1900 BST and found a window at a car dealership had been shot at and damaged. No-one was hurt. | |
Witnesses reported seeing a group of men leaving a Volkswagen Passat and entering the nearby block of flats, which police then sealed off. | |
Merseyside Police said two men, aged 32 and 26, were arrested at the scene. | |
Breck Road and several roads nearby were closed and some residents were evacuated from the block of flats while police made contact with the men inside. | |
The Volkswagen was cordoned off for forensic examinations. | |
Lyndsey Mason, 32, who lives close to the building, said: "Police arrived and they smashed down the front door of the flats. | |
"I didn't leave my house at first because I thought it was raids and I didn't want to get involved. But even more police came and then they started putting barriers and tape across the whole street." |
