Thankfully, SWP revealed on social media, the firearms were not real.

This was unbeknowst to the officers at the time, who used expert threat assessments to bring the incident to a safe ending.

A 29 year-old man has been arrested and remains in police custody.

"Thankfully situations like this are very rare."
