POLICE swooped on an address in the Market Close area of Buckfastleigh to arrest a teenager in connection with an alleged gun threat incident in Dorset.

Officers detained a 17-year-old in the town on Tuesday as part of inquiries into an imitation firearm matter involving a 16-year-old lad in Bridport 24 hours earlier.

The suspect, from Axminster, was released on bail pending further inquiries.
