Chief Inspector for the area Simon Allardice said: “There are so many people in this community who are hard-working, good people that do not deserve to have their lives disrupted by small groups.

“We have taken swift and robust action and made arrests in connection with each of the recent firearms incidents.

“We are working with the community to build up intelligence and the results of this operation show the importance of that team work.

“Together we will root out anyone who seeks to disrupt our communities.”
