Police investigation after house shot at in Rainhill

A police investigation is underway after a house in Rainhill was shot at last night (Thursday 20 March).

Officers were called to reports of gunshots in Dorgan Close at around 20:40, where a property was damaged.

No injuries have been reported and officers remain at the scene to carry out house-to-house, forensic and CCTV enquiries.

Detective Chief Superintendent Karen Jaundrill said: "The sheer recklessness of firing a gun at a property is plain to see, and it is through chance alone that nobody was harmed in last night's incident.

"Our officers will be at the scene to carry out initial enquiries into what we believe to have been a targeted attack.

"If you live locally and saw or heard anything, or may have captured the incident or suspects making off on CCTV, dashcam or doorbell devices, please come forward as soon as possible."
