TWO people were arrested in unconnected incidents after they were seen with a gun.
A woman customer at the Goats Gate pub in Radcliffe New Road, Whitefield, was held by police on Tuesday night of last week after regulars spotted a handgun in her bag. Officers swooped on the pub and quickly detained the woman and a weapon was recovered.
On Wednesday afternoon a man sparked a land and air search of Bury by police when he was spotted with a handgun on the Tesco car park at Woodfields Retail Park off Peel Way. The force helicopter flew over the town centre as foot and mobile police patrols searched for the suspect.
A man was arrested a short time later and a gun was recovered.
