Police were alerted to a man sitting on a grass verge opposite a building site holding a rifle. It’s alleged he was pointing it in the direction of the site, at about 8:30 this morning.
Police believe this was after an argument with contractors on the building site.
A shot could not be fired from the rifle, as it had no bolt.
