Two men arrested after guns found at Skipton house
11:11am Monday 2nd August 2010 in
Three firearms were found by police at a Skipton house today after they received a report that a man was carrying a pistol-type weapon in a garden.
Armed officers went to The Oval shortly after midnight following an anonymous 999 call made from a nearby public payphone and seized the weapons.
No-one was injured in the operation and no shots were fired.
Two men, aged 22 and 50, were arrested and remained in custody this morning awaiting further questioning, said a North Yorkshire Police spokesman.
The man who made the 999 call or anyone with information is urged to contact Skipton CID on (0845) 6060247. Information about the incident can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling (0800) 555 111.
