A man in due in court today charged with an incident in Helston on Friday.

It is after armed police descended on a property in the town on Friday afternoon, before arresting a man.

Adam Burgoyne, aged 32, of Trelawney Road, Helston, has now been charged with using threatening or abusive words or behaviour to cause fear of violence.

He is due to appear at Bodmin Magistrates' Court today [Monday, October 25].

Marked police vans can be seen lined up at the entrance to the King George V playing field, at the top of Oliver's Terrace off Meneage Street, on Friday afternoon.

Further vehicles could also be seen in the surrounding area.

A number of armed officers in riot gear were seen standing in the doorway of a nearby property shortly after 3.30pm, and one man could be seen being brought out in handcuffs.

The officers were described by one witness as being "lined up" in the entrance, and shouting could be heard.

Earlier in the afternoon a number of armed and non-armed police could also be seen near the town's library.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said that teams were brought in, including armed officers, as a result of "threats" allegedly being made.

The force spokesperson said at the time: "We received reports of threats being made in the Trengrouse Way area of Helston at around 1.40pm.

"Officers, including armed units, have attended the scene and carried out searches of the area.

"One man has been detained in connection with the incident."
