Police were called to S Auto’s garage on Bulay Road at 3.02pm on 22 July to a report three men had received injuries after a firearm was repeatedly discharged from the Nissan Juke as it drove by the garage.
A 30-year-old man received a foot injury, a 36-year-old was injured in a knee and a 20-year-old man, meanwhile, was injured in his arm and stomach.
The Nissan Juke had turned left from Nelson Street onto Bulay Road just before the shooting, and then made off, turning right onto Springdale Road and then onto Manchester Road.
Specialist officers were swiftly deployed to the scene and located the men who were taken to hospital for treatment.
Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, who is leading the investigation , said:
“This exceptionally dangerous act could quite easily have resulted in far worse consequences, and I want to reassure residents a full investigation is underway into this firearms discharge.
“We are working today to understand the motive behind this attack and are conducting extensive enquiries in and around the location it occurred in. Every possible resource needed is being utilised in the area.
“I am also appealing for witnesses and footage, particularly of the Nissan Juke which we know was involved. We do know it was bearing false registration plates, so cannot say what registration it may be displaying now, but can confirm it was black, had red wing mirrors and damage to its bonnet and sides so is distinctive.
“My team would also like to speak to anyone who has any other information which could assist our enquiries.”
