Scunthorpe: Witness appeals after gunshot to car

Police said the silver car was on Scotter Road when it blocked the path of a Volvo and an ATV near the intersection with Bristol Road.

Two men on an ATV tried to open the car doors before shooting at the vehicle.

A spokesman added that the Volvo was found on fire a short time later.

Det Ch Insp Amy Keane-Christie said: “I fully understand that an incident of this nature will naturally cause distress to the local community and I would like to reassure us that we believe this was a targeted attack with no greater risk to the public.”

“I would appeal to anyone with any information or who may be a witness to come forward as your help could be crucial to the investigation and holding those responsible accountable.”
