Appeal for information on car used in Newry shooting
Police investigating a shooting in Newry are appealing for information on a car that made off towards the border after the attack.
A man was shot in the legs during a broad daylight attack in the Carnbane Industrial Estate at around 11:55am on Tuesday.
Officers were called to the Springhill Road area following reports that a man was shot in the legs.
Detectives investigating the shooting want to speak to anyone who saw a silver Audi or a dark saloon loitering in the area.
Detective Inspector Johnston said: “We believe that the gunmen entered the carpark outside the premises approximately an hour before the shooting took place.
“They were travelling in a Silver Audi S4 with the registration DA55WVE, which was abandoned a short time after the shooting on Old Dublin Road and set on fire.
“The men were then seen to get into a dark coloured saloon vehicle which made off in the direction of the border.
“We wish to establish the movements of the Silver Audi S4 in the time before and after the shooting and are keen to speak with anyone who may have witnessed any dark coloured saloon vehicle loitering or driving away from the area of the Old Dublin Road at around midday.
“I would appeal to anyone who may have any information or dashcam footage in relation to the attack, to contact detectives in Ardmore Station on 101 quoting the reference number 679 08/02/22.”
