A police helicopter and two police cars were scrambled following reports that an armed man was on the loose in Oxfordshire.
Police received a call from a member of public this morning who said that a man with a shotgun was standing beside a car at Marsh Baldon, south-east of Oxford.
However, it turned out that the man had a licence for the gun and his car had broken down.
A policeman waited with him while his vehicle was recovered.
