We are appealing for information following a report of criminal damage to a house in Kirkdale on Tuesday 14 January.
We received a report at around 8.45pm that windows to a house on Alfonso Road had been damaged. None of the occupants inside the property were injured.
An investigation is underway with enquiries being carried out in the local area.
Inspector Peter Stevens said. “We are in the early stages of the investigation to establish the circumstances of what has taken place however damage caused to the windows appears to be consistent with a pellet gun.
“We believe this incident is a case of mistaken identity as new occupants have recently moved in to the house. It was a frightening incident for them to experience and thankfully no one was injured. Pellet guns can appear to be real firearms to the untrained eye and capable of causing a huge amount of fear if produced in public or used to threaten anyone. They are being supported by officers as we look to find who was responsible.
“I urge residents who live locally to check your CCTV, dashcam devices or doorbell footage for anything captured which can help with our enquiries. Maybe you saw someone acting suspiciously in the area prior to the incident which will assist the investigation. Any information you provide, however, insignificant it may seem, could be vital to our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 25000036643.
