Two men face possible court action after a report of a man seen with a gun prompted a massive police response on Saturday.

Nine armed officers rushed initially to Harmer Street in Gravesend before arresting the duo in adjacent Milton Road, near the Milton Food and Wine shop.

They were held on suspicion of possessing an imitation firearm.

Both have been bailed until Monday, September 25, while further inquiries are carried out.

A dispersal order was also in place at the time targetting anti-soial behaviour in the town, but that ended at midday today.

The order was imposed after a teenager was charged following a large disturbance in Gordon Promenade East, off Canal Road last month, which left two people with slash wounds.

Anybody who wishes to report instances of anti-social behaviour can do so online via the Kent Police website. If a crime is in progress, lease don’t hesitate to call 999.
