They said that they had received reports of a male attempting to enter a property.

Upon arrival they could not see such a male, “however a search of the area resulted in officers locating a car with a female passenger locked inside”.

Police freed the woman and seized a knife from inside the car, whilst a man was arrested shortly afterwards.

Now police have said a 31-year-old man has been charged with offences including possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances, carrying a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence, and possession of an offensive weapon.

He is due to appear at Newtownards Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, June 27.
