An early learning centre near the Sturdee Road property locked down.
Armed Police found a high-powered air rifle and arrested a 21-year-old man.
Inspector Danny Meade says it took up valuable Police resources -- and could have been avoided if people thought about the consequences of using an air gun in a built-up area.
