Three arrested after 'gun' alert
Armed police were called to a supermarket in Derbyshire after staff were threatened with a gun.

Workers at Tesco on Waverley Street in Long Eaton had approached a group of youths who were misbehaving.

They then saw what they described to officers as a handgun during the incident on Tuesday evening.

A Derbyshire Police spokesperson said three people were later arrested in the Kirk Hallam area. A BB gun was also recovered by officers.
