Police were called to reports of a gunman near a primary school this morning.

A man with a gun was spotted in Little Roke Road, in Kenley, close to Roke Primary School, at about 11.45am.

He drove off in a car before police arrived at the scene.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said as a result of inquiries into the vehicle two men were stopped by firearms officers outside an address in Peckham this afternoon.

They were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm.

They are currently being questioned at a south London police station.
