ARMED police swooped on a Derbyshire home - following reports there was a gun inside the property.
Officers rushed to the house, in Nottingham Road, Ilkeston, and confirmed they seized a firearm.
The incident happened on Wednesday at about 4.45pm.
A spokeswoman for Derbyshire Police said the gun was a gas-powered airsoft gun, similar to a BB gun.
But she said, while no offence had been committed - as a licence was not required for this type of gun - the weapon was seized and destroyed. It is not known why at this time.
The spokeswoman said there was no danger to the public.
