Armed police attended Gweek Quay Boatyard after being called in by a private company engaged in a civil matter last Thursday
The incident related to a man thought to be resident in premises at the Gweek boatyard.
A collection of firearms, which police were aware of, were seized as a precaution from the premises by the officers following concern for the welfare of the resident, who is a licensed firearms holder.
It is also being reported that Gweek Quay Limited, the owner of the boatyard, has gone into receivership.
Neither the old owners nor the receiver of the property, licensed insolvency practitioners Geoffrey Kirk, were available for comment.
