Police issue appeal after shooting in Lye

Police rushed to Cross Walks at around 2am on Tuesday morning, later closing the road off due to a dangerous incident that had taken place.

The force said it believed that a man had fired at the house then fled the scene on foot towards Belmont Road, with damage caused to the front of a home, but left nobody injured.

The road remained closed throughout the day while officers carried out enquiries, checked CCTV footage and forensically examined the area.

And today, the force said it is 'continuing to appeal' for information after shots rung off on the quiet residential street.

In the statement, it said: "We are continuing to appeal for information after shots were fired at a property on Cross Walks, Lye, last Monday (6 Aug).
