Man arrested, woman charged after incident at West Lakes, in Adelaide's west

A 50-year-old man has been arrested and a woman charged with firearm offences after an incident in Adelaide's western suburbs this morning. 

Police were called to a home in West Lakes about 7:45am, after witnesses reported seeing a man holding a firearm on a residential street. 

STAR Group officers were called in, before the home was cordoned off from the public.

The officers entered the home and arrested the man without incident. 

A firearm was located and seized by police. 

Police have charged a 50-year-old woman with possessing a firearm without a licence.

The man was taken to hospital but there were no reported injuries. 

He is expected to be charged at a later date.  

'Pretty surprised'

A neighbour said there was lots of police activity in the area on Wednesday morning. 

"There was 12-15 police, all the action was on here," he said. 

"They said there was an incident but I can't go down that street.

Upon hearing of the incident, other neighbours said they were shocked.

"Pretty surprised.. I'm very anti-firearms that's for sure.

"I live 100 metres away and didn't hear gun shots or yelling."

Police have urged any witnesses to come forward.
