Two people have been charged with firearms offences after police officers responded to reports of shots being fired at a building in Bradford.

Police were called to Great Horton Road at about 19:10 BST on Wednesday following reports of a firearms discharge.

Officers seized a number of weapons, including a crossbow, BB Gun and blank firing ammunition but said they found no evidence a gun was actually fired.

An 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have both been charged in connection with the incident and are due to appear at Bradford Magistrates' Court on Friday.

West Yorkshire Police said the man had been charged with possession of an offensive weapon and possession of an imitation firearm and the boy had been charged with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.

A 20-year-old man and another 17-year-old boy who were also arrested have been released on bail.
