Police have arrested five people - including two children - after a gun was found in a Catford back garden.

Lewisham officers raided the Polecroft Lane house yesterday (September 10) at around 5.30pm following a tip-off.

They searched the corner of the back garden and found a firearm, believed to be a revolver, hidden inside a box.

A spokeswoman for Lewisham police said: "A woman, two men and two juveniles - a girl and boy - were arrested at the address and taken into custody. 

"They have all since been bailed pending further enquiries."
