On the evening of Friday 13th January 2012, four police cars and an Army Bomb Disposal van were spotted parked outside a flat in Brighton Road Lancing.

The following day police cars were still there, and a Royal Navy Bomb disposal van arrived and parked across the pavement next to the garage belonging to the flat.

We showed our concern to the police about the Bomb Disposal vans, and were told there was nothing to worry about; it was just an overzealous gun collector.

Ammunition casings were being stored in the garage, and we believe 150 firearms were found at the man’s flat.  The occupier was arrested on suspicion of possession of prohibited firearms but later released on bail.

The Bomb Disposal Units were called in to remove any live or potentially explosive ammunition
