POLICE said tonight that the search for a gunman who threatened police in Didcot on Friday was on-going.

Several houses were searched over the weekend as part of the hunt for the man who pointed a handgun at police in Kynaston Road, before fleeing to the nearby Didcot cemetery and disappearing.

Police followed a black Volkswagen Golf that was driving erratically from Oxford's Eastern Bypass on Friday, at 1pm down the A34 to Didcot.
