A masked gang threatened a woman before firing shots in the air in Dungiven last night.
The men approached a house in the Ard Na Smoll area at around 8.45pm.
The woman, who was inside a property at time, was not injured.
Following the incident, the group made off in what has been described as a silver coloured jeep.
Detective Sergeant Wallace said:
