Police are appealing for witnesses after a firearm discharge in Watford.

It happened at around 8.45pm on 6 November, around the East Drive Recreation Ground on North Western Avenue, causing damage to a window.

No injuries have been reported.

Detective Superintendent Mark Clawson said: “Since the incident was first reported to us, officers have been conducting numerous CCTV and house-to-house enquiries.

“Work is ongoing to find out exactly what happened, and I appreciate the nature of this incident is concerning.

“We are asking anyone who was in the area at the time and who has not yet spoken to officers to get in touch as soon as possible.

“It is not always appropriate to disclose sensitive live-time investigative information to those not directly affected by the incident, especially as our detectives look to speak to independent witnesses. Further updates will be provided when appropriate to do so.”
