It's believed that officers from the force rushed to Kieran's home at around 4pm.
Kieran, 36, shares two children with his former wife, Katie as well as a son with his partner Michelle Penticost and lives with Michelle's son, 12, from a former relationship.
A neighbour of Kieran and Michelle's said: "It was very dramatic, a police van and car suddenly turned up on the driveway of their home."
They went on to tell The Sun: "We later heard it involved a gun which was quite frightening."

The news of Kieran's arrest comes hours after he shared two posts about female narcissists on his Instagram page after his former wife posted about ex-partners.
Katie shared a video on her Stories which shared the "traits" of a narcissist alongside a voiceover which said: "When a narcissist says 'my ex was crazy'".
Although her post wasn't directed at anybody in particular, Kieran appeared to have taken it to heart and took to his own page to indirectly respond.

Nowadays, both Katie and Kieran offer insights into their lives on their respective social media channels with their new partners as they both look towards a new life.
