Neighbours have spoken of their terror after a gun was fired in Swanscombe when three men forced their way into a house.

Three people were in the terraced home in Church Road when the drama unfolded at just before 5pm yesterday.

Three men wearing hoodies were then seen running from the house.

Kent Police said no one was hurt and officers believe all those involved knew each other.

A spokesman for the force said two people - a man of 25 and 23-year-old woman - in the house when the trio burst in have been arrested on supicion of growing cannabis.

One mother living next door said she had to comfort her children after hearing the gun shot.
