A teenage girl's reportedly been threatened with a weapon in Ruskington.
Police say it happened last night around 7.30pm.
It's believed the girl in her mid teens was approached by a white transit near the junction of Westgate and Manor Road when a passenger leaned out of the window and shouted at the girl before pointing something in her direction which resembled a pistol.
Officers say they are taking the information very seriously.

She continued home and flagged down a passing police patrol to make a report, after which officers carried out immediate searches of the area.
