A TEENAGE boy has been arrested after a member of the public spotted "someone" carrying a knife in Bulford.

Wiltshire Police says its officers were called shortly before 1.45pm today after a knife was spotted being carried in the Hampshire Close area.

A 16-year-old boy was then arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article and has been taken to Melksham custody for questioning.

Nobody was injured and there is no suggestion anyone was at risk during the incident.

However, Wiltshire Police adds that it would like to thank the member of the public who reported their concerns so swiftly.
