A spokesman said: “At 9.58pm, we were called after gunshots were reportedly heard in the area. Officers attended and confirmed a firearm had been discharged.

“We do not believe anyone was injured and officers have remained present in the area to continue with enquires.”

Detective Inspector Chris Ronayne, from our Armed Crime Team, said: “I know incidents like this are a great cause of concern and although our investigation is at an early stage, I want to reassure residents that our officers are working round the clock to find those responsible.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area around the time of the incident, or who was driving through the area and has dashcam footage.
