AN armed police storm on a suspected gunman’s home turned out to be a false alarm.
A member of the public called police at about 5.45pm after seeing what they thought was a man inside a house with a gun.
Police swooped on the property in Southchurch Avenue, Southend, at about 5.45pm on Wednesday evening.
They searched the property but didn’t find any weapons. No arrests were made.
