Thomas Daniels-Poulis arrested after Marsham siege

Police launched an appeal for Thomas Daniels-Poulis who is thought to have fled from his home at Marsham Hall while the property was surrounded by armed police.

Officers were called to the £1.5m house, in the village of Marsham, at around 7.15pm on Tuesday, after concerns were raised for the safety of a man living there. It also followed a report that a woman there had been assaulted.

Police finally entered the property and searched it shortly before 6pm on Wednesday, but could find no trace of Daniels-Poulis.

However, they did find two air rifles and a crossbow.

The appeal to find Daniels-Poulis was made on Thursday afternoon.

He was arrested in the West Midlands at about 7.30pm on Thursday on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

A woman in her 50s was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Both are being returned to Norfolk for questioning.

A police spokesman said: "We would like to thank the media and public for their assistance in sharing this appeal."

Marsham Hall is located down a long drive just off the A140, between Aylsham and Norwich.

It is surrounded by a number of outbuildings and backs on to open farmland.

Locals in the village have spoken of their shock at the unfolding events.

One said: "We heard quite a lot of shouting. It was all very unnerving."

Police say no-one was injured in the incident and that they did not want to enter the property until they could do so safely.
