A shot's been fired at a house in Lurgan.

A bullet hole was left in the window of a property in Connolly Place, sometime between half 10 and 11 last night.

No one was inside the property at the time. 

Police have described it as a "reckless attack".


Detector Inspector Trevor Stevenson said:

"Police received a report at 11:20pm last night (Thursday, 27th December) of what appeared to be a bullet hole in the window of the property. 

“On arrival of police it was established a shot had been fired at the premises. It’s believed this occurred between 10:30pm and 11pm last night. 

“While there was no-one in the property at the time of this incident, whoever carried out this reckless attack showed a total disregard  for other residents in this built-up residential area.  

"Police would appeal to anyone who has any information, no matter how insignificant you may think it is, to contact detectives in Lurgan on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 1590 of 27/12/18.” 

 

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
