ARMED police have been called to Arrow Valley Lake in Redditch following reports of a shotgun being fired.

Although reports on social media claimed that someone had been shot at Morrisons on Warwick Highway, police did not confirm this.

A police spokesman said: "We have received reports of noises which have been described as possible crow scares or gun shots in Redditch.

"As a precaution, armed officers have been deployed to a wooded area of Arrow Valley Country Park.
 
"Officers have isolated the area but no one has been sighted and we have not established any particular threats to the public."
 

About 10 police cars were by the lake and police riot vans were blocking people from entering the park.

Officers have now left the scene.
