ARMED police descended on Poole this morning after reports of a knifeman trying to break into properties.
Officers were called just after 8.30am and were told a man wielding a knife had tried to break into a shed in the Ringwood Road area.
A search, which also involved the police helicopter, was then conducted in a wide area including Ringwood Road, Rosemary Road and Kenyon Road.
A spokesman for Dorset Police said a 25-year-old Poole man was arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery and is now helping police with their inquiries.
