Two arrests after shot fired at front door in Heysham

Two people have been arrested after a shot was fired at a front door in Heysham.

Detectives investigating a shooting on Heysham Road today raided properties in Manchester and made the arrests.

This follows an incident at 4pm on August 1 when someone approached an address in Heysham Road before shooting at the front door and making off.

It is believed the offender arrived in the area with a second person in a red Skoda Fabia. This vehicle was later recovered in the Manchester area.

Nobody was injured as a result of the incident, which police believe was a targeted attack.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for information.

Det Ch Insp Lee Wilson, of Lancashire Police, said: “We know how much concern this incident caused in the community and I am pleased to say we have today made two arrests as part of our investigation.

“Gun crime will not be tolerated on our streets. In recent days we have seen what a tragic effect such criminality can have, both regionally and nationally.

"While incidents such as this are rare, we take this discharge extremely seriously and have a dedicated team of officers working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice."
