Vehicles shot at in Southampton
Police are appealing for information and dash cam footage following several reports of shots fired at a vehicle in Walnut Avenue in Southampton on Wed 13 June. Can you help? Officers received reports that an occupant of a blue Ford Focus shot at the windscreen of a silver Vauxhall Astra just before 8pm. It was reported the Ford Focus then gave chase to the Vauxhall Astra at high speed out of Walnut Avenue, onto Wide Lane and then down the A27 towards Church Hill.

We have been following up these reports to ascertain the exact circumstances of what occurred and we’ve had a positive response from those we have spoken to so far.
