South Yorkshire Police is appealing for footage and information following reports of a firearms discharge in Balby.

Armed officers, CID and the Armed Crime Team responded and immediately began to search and recover evidence.

The force is urging anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage of a white Ford Puma around the area, or that you may have seen closeby driving at speed or in a reckless manner to get in touch.
Detective Inspector of the Armed Crime Team and leading the inquiry Claire Moss said: “Thankfully during this incident no one was injured, but this could have been very different.
“Gun crime puts people’s lives at risk, and while we work to piece together the circumstances, we need our community’s support to show that guns have no place in our neighbourhoods.
“As today progresses, we will have armed officers, detectives and forensic teams working, speaking to residents, gathering evidence to ensure those responsible for pulling the trigger face justice.
“If you believe you can help, please get in touch, before we see further risk of innocent people getting caught in crossfire.”
Insp Moss continued: “Sometimes the smallest piece of information could prove to be an important part of the jigsaw and it's imperative that if you know something about this incident, those involved or the vehicle believed to have been used, report it to us."
