Armed police were called out to Moulton Park this morning following a report a man was seen brandishing a gun.
A call was made to police by a member of the public at 8.50am today claiming to have seen a man waving a gun in the air in the area around Kings Park Road.
The police helicopter was scrambled and a full armed response team was sent to the area, but despite an extensive search, no trace of any potential ‘gunman’ was found.
A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said: “We had one report come in to us but we haven’t found anyone. There was no trace.”
