Three people have been arrested after reports of gunshots in a residential area of Lancaster.
Two men and a woman have been arrested in connection with the investigation, said Lancaster Area Police.
This comes after officers raided four properties overnight and carried out searches.
A 26-year-old man from Lancaster has been arrested on suspicion of possession of firearms with intent.
A 42-year-old man from Lancaster has been arrested on suspicion of burglary.
A 28-year-old woman from Lancaster has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Police are investigating a suspected firearms discharge after they were called to reports of gunshots close to properties in Patterdale Road and Ennerdale Close.
Damage to a car, consistent with a firearm being fired, was found in Ennerdale Close.
Police are continuing to appeal for CCTV, doorbell footage and dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident.
Nobody was injured.
A BMW car was driven from the scene following the incident and found a short time later off Meldon Road, Heysham.
It is believed the vehicle was stolen from a property in the Bay Horse area earlier in the evening.
Police believe the incident to be a targeted attack and say there is no risk to the wider community.
Officers are linking the discharge to a report of a car being vandalised on Patterdale Road earlier in the evening, around 7.15pm.
Det Supt Becky Smith, of Lancashire Police, said: “Clearly this incident is extremely concerning.
“I recognise and understand residents will be shocked and concerned by what has happened.
“I would like to reassure them, that incidents of this nature are extremely rare. We believe this is a targeted attack, with no risk to the wider public.
“We have increased patrols in the area and you should expect to see a visible police presence in the coming days.
“We are appealing for information and urging any witnesses to come forward.
“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone with CCTV, dashboard mounted camera footage or doorbell footage, from the Patterdale Road and Ennerdale Close areas, around the time of the offence.”
