A 16-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested after making threats to kill following an armed police siege outside a house in Westbury.
Armed officers from Tri-Force, five police cars and an ambulance attended the scene on Leigh Road at 4.22pm.
Officers gained access to the property at 8.30pm and the teenager was arrested and remains in police custody.
A Wiltshire Police spokesman said that while the activity had created a great deal of interest the force did not consider that there was a risk to the public.
The road was shut until 8.40pm.
