“Thanks to the person who bravely made the initial report, we were able to immediately locate the suspects and seize a weapon so I would like to thank them for their actions.

“However since then we have made several attempts to contact that person, but the number they provided us is no longer connecting.

“Unfortunately they terminated the call before the member of staff in the force communications room had chance to record any further detail.

“Therefore we are very keen to speak to them, or anyone else who may have seen a man acting suspiciously in the area around Gaumont Approach yesterday evening, as we believe they will have vital information that could assist our enquiries.
