Detectives investigating a firearms discharge in Morecambe have today (Thursday, August 25) arrested two men in Lancashire.
Officers, supported by Greater Manchester Police, executed warrants at addresses in Manchester following an incident earlier this month.
Police had been called around 4pm on August 1 to reports someone had approached an address in Heysham Road before shooting at the front door and making off.
It is believed the offender arrived in the area with a second person in a red Skoda Fabia. This vehicle was later recovered in the Manchester area.
Thankfully nobody was injured as a result of the incident, which police believe was a targeted attack.
Detectives have conducted numerous enquiries since the discharge and are continuing to appeal for information.
Anybody with information should call 101, quoting log 0937 of August 1, or independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
