ARMED police swooped on a Chelmsley Wood street following reports a man threatened to blast through a front door with a firearm.
The response team were called by a panicked resident in Waterson Croft yesterday morning (Wednesday), following reports of a disturbance at a tower block.
A sawn-off shotgun was recovered at the scene and sent for forensic tests. A 19-year-old man was arrested after being pursued into fields near the M6 motorway.
Checks of CCTV images led officers to another high rise in nearby Woodlands Way, where a 21-year-old man was also detained. The force helicopter and dog units also attended the scene, which was promptly sealed off.
Both men are being questioned on suspicion of possessing a short-barrelled shotgun.
