A 3D printer and suspected "homemade" gun components have been seized during police raids in Manchester.

A plastic magazine and trigger, which detectives suspect could be fitted together to make a firearm, were found in Wythenshawe on Thursday.

Greater Manchester Police said forensic experts were assessing whether the parts could make a genuine gun.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of making gunpowder and remains in custody.

A force spokesman said if the tests showed the parts could make a functioning weapon, it would be the "first ever seizure of this kind in the UK".
