A MAN believed to have a gun sparked an armed response from police officers late last night.
Officers from Wiltshire Police descended on Blunsdon St Andrew following the tip-off and were seen by residents in the Smart Close area.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: "We received a call at 9.45pm on Wednesday, July 12, to reports of a man with a firearm in the Blunsdon St Andrew area of Swindon.
"Armed officers responded and carried out a full search of the area and spoke to the individual concerned - however nothing suspicious was discovered and no further action is needed from police."
