Two teenagers were arrested after police were called to reports of  someone being seen with a suspected firearm in Ipswich.

Police were called to Key Street, near Ipswich waterfront, at around 3.30pm after receiving reports of a male seen with a suspected firearm.

Officers established that the male had entered a property on College Street.

Key Street and College Street were then closed while officers attended the property. 

Shortly after, two males, aged 14 and 19, were arrested at the scene and taken into custody.

Following further inquiries an imitation firearm was also seized from the same premises. The road reopened just before 6pm.

A spokesman for Suffolk police thanked members of the public for their patience while the matter was resolved.
