Arrest over shots fired on estate

A 26-year-old man has been arrested after a number of shots were fired on a housing estate in Liverpool.

A number of homes were damaged during the attack in Lordens and Fincham Road on Tuesday night. No one was injured.

The suspect was arrested after a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition were found at a property in Huyton on Friday.

Police believe it was related to an ongoing dispute between gangs and appealed for those with information to come forward.

Head of Matrix, Ch Supt Tony Doherty, said: "Local people will see disruptive police operations both on the roads and by officers on foot around the estates and local streets.

"I would ask that local people have patience with my officers over coming days as we seek to remove these criminals and the threat they pose from our streets."
