A man has been arrested after being spotted with what was thought to be a gun on Cleethorpes seafront.
Armed officers were sent to the scene at about 23:00 BST on Monday and they arrested a 29-year-old shortly after, according to Humberside Police.
The man was detained on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent, officers said.
A weapon had been found and a cordon remained in place on Market Street and Kingsway, they added.
