Detectives investigating a report of shots fired at a property in Newtownards this morning, Thursday, July 15 are appealing for information and witnesses. 

Detective Inspector Nigel Snoddy said: “We received a report shortly after 12:10am today that shots had been fired at the front of a property in Lisbane Drive, causing damage to a front window. 

“Fortunately, the male occupant in the property at the time was not physically injured in what can only be described as a reckless attack, which could have had serious consequences.  

“As we investigate to establish who was involved in this gun attack and a motive, we are asking anyone who was in the area between 12:05am and 12:10am to call us on 101, quoting reference number 22 of 15/07/21.”
