DETECTIVES investigating a firearms discharge which damaged the door of a house in Leeds are appealing for witnesses.
The incident occurred at about 9.24pm on Monday on Granhamthorpe, Bramley, but was not reported to police until Wednesday.
No one was in the house at the time and the two suspects are believed to have ran off towards Bramley Park.
Enquiries have now established there were people in the area at the time of the incident, and police are now appealing for those people to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Fiona Gaffney, of the West Yorkshire Police Firearms Prevent and Investigation Team, said:
“We have established that there were a number of people walking their dogs in the area at the time and we are really keen for these people to come forward, as well as anyone else who may have heard or seen something suspicious, as we believe they will be able to assist our investigation.
“The discharge of a firearm is a serious incident and we are continuing to carry out enquiries to establish who was responsible.”
