Four men have been arrested over reports of gunshots being fired in Cheltenham.
The incident happened on Hudson Street at around 7.20pm on Wednesday (19 June), when police believe a grey Toyota pulled up in the road and its occupants got out before discharging a weapon five times.
Four men aged 18, 21, 24 and 36, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
They then got back into the vehicle and drove off.
No injuries or damage to nearby properties was reported.
Our reporter Rachael White was at the scene on Thursday morning as police began their investigation into the incident.
Shortly after the incident, the Toyota was seen being driven in the wrong direction down Townsend Street by a man wearing a balaclava.
Detectives are now looking to speak to anybody who may have witnessed this or who has dashcam footage of the car.
Enquiries are ongoing and officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team will continue to patrol the area throughout the weekend.
Anyone with information on what took place should contact Gloucestershire Police and quote incident 429 of 19 June.
