Gun fired in Scarborough – police investigation and appeal initiated

Scarborough Police have asked for CCTV footage following two incidents in Scarborough, one of which may have involved the use of firearms.

Police were called to an address in Wreyfield Drive, Scarborough, at 11.35am on Saturday following reports of an assault on a man.

“He was taken to hospital where he was treated for minor injuries,” a North Yorkshire Police spokesman said.

“Based on the investigation, it appears that a firearm of some type was fired in the area at that time.”

A 20-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and released on bail pending the outcome of the investigation.

“We are asking for any information that could assist our investigation into the incident,” said the police spokesman.

The police are also asking for information about another incident that occurred earlier this evening.

“It was reported that there was an argument and disturbance near the row of shops on Colescliffe Road at around 10pm,” the spokesman said.

“We would like to hear from anyone who has dashboard or doorbell camera footage that may have captured anything, particularly of the people involved in the two incidents or any vehicles that were in the area at the time.”
