BREAKING – Parts of Spalding closed after gunman reports

Spalding town centre has been closed after reports of a person carrying a gun in town.

Lincolnshire Police just before 11.30am tweeted: “We are in #Spalding after a report of a man who had what looked like a gun.

“It’s unconfirmed what type of weapon, or if it is a replica. No reports of threats made or injuries.

“As part of this operation we are closing the A151, Winsover Road between St Thomas Rd and Swan St.”

However a member of the public has contacted The Voice to say the roads are now open.
