A 16-year-old boy who was arrested after police were called to reports of a man "brandishing a gun in the street" has been rebailed until June. 

A man was seen in Batsworth Road, Mitcham, with what was believed to be a handgun on Saturday, March 26. 

Armed police were called after reports that a firearm was collected from a bush area, and a 16-year-old was arrested at his home on suspicion of possession of a firearm.
