A man has been arrested after a near week-long incident in Tamworth was resolved.

A 31-year-old man, from Tamworth, was arrested yesterday evening (Monday 12 September) on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

He was taken into custody where he remains at this time.

Police were first called to a property in Kettlebrook on Tuesday 6 September after court enforcement officers had attempted to evict a man from the premises.

A cordon remains at the property.

Local policing Superintendent Jason Nadin said:

“We would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while we resolved this matter.”
