Pellet gun attacks in Gainsborough pose a significant risk

Police are investigating a spate of attacks with BB or pellet guns on homes in Gainsborough.

Officers are appealing for help finding those responsible after eight separate reports of windows being shot.

The incidents took place between October 17 and 28 in the Park Springs Road and Riseholme Road areas.
