Tuesday, 4 October 2016 07:00

Police are appealing for information after two properties were damaged by firearms discharges in Bradford. 　

At about 6.56am on 30 September, police were called to an address in Grayswood Crescent after damage was found to a window, which the caller believed had been caused by a firearms discharge earlier that night. 　

As enquiries into this incident were being made police noted a property in nearby Lymington Drive with a damaged window. 　

Officers later confirmed that both damages were caused by firearms discharges.　

No one was injured. 　

Three men aged 27, 28 and 31 have been arrested in connection with these incidents. 　

Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Spencer of the Homicide and Major Enquiries Team, said:　

"We believe the incident at Grayswood Crescent happened at around 2.30am on 30 September and would ask for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at that time to come forward." 　

"We are currently treating these as two incidents as linked, so we would also appeal for any information about recent suspicious activity in the Lymington Drive area."　

"We are yet to establish the timing of the incident there, but we believe it to have happened before the damage at the address in Grayswood Crescent."
