Shots fired at Doncaster house as police launch hunt for gun attackers

At 8.30pm on Saturday, police were called to a house in Almond Avenue, Armthorpe after shots were fired at a property in the street.

Armed officers attended and found evidence consistent with a shotgun discharge to the door of the property. No one was injured during the incident.

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Ronayne, from the Armed Crime Team, said: "Thankfully, no one was injured during this incident but every time a firearm is discharged by criminals in our community, there is always a risk and danger to local people.

"Firing shots at a home is extremely callous behaviour and we will not tolerate the risk that these incidents pose to our communities.

"We are urging anyone with information that could help our investigation to come forward.

"Were you in the area on Saturday evening? Did you hear something or do you have any home CCTV or dashcam footage of suspicious behaviour? Any information, no matter how small, could help us find those who are responsible.

"Our officers will be conducting high-visibility patrols in the area throughout the coming days. Please do stop and talk to us if you have any concerns or information. We are there to help you."
