Three men arrested following BB gun shootings in Nottinghamshire
A number of car windows have been smashed in the area
Three men have been arrested after a series of BB gun shootings in Nottinghamshire, smashing car windows and bus stops.
The suspects, aged 18, 20 and 29, have been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and criminal damage.
They were arrested after their car was stopped on Daleside Road, Nottingham, around 9.10pm yesterday (20 March). All three remain in custody.
No serious injuries have been reported but Nottinghamshire Police have increased their neighbourhood policing patrols.
Detective Inspector James Oakton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“We are taking these incidents extremely seriously and detectives are working hard on the investigation.
“High-visibility patrols have been put in place in the areas affected and I’d urge anyone with concerns to speak to an officer.
“While we do not believe anyone has been injured, considerable damage has been caused to people’s homes and cars and these incidents will have caused distress.
“These arrests are an important development but we still want to hear from anyone with any information or relevant CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage.”
