Police have cautioned the man found walking down Ashbourne Road with a gun in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Residents reported seeing a man staggering past their homes brandishing what looked like a gun as the evening festivities drew to a close, and police were called to the street.

A man was arrested and released on bail after officers recovered an air weapon from a nearby house.

The man has answered his bail and been handed a caution, confirmed Staffordshire Police today.
