Group of women struck by pellets as police appeal for information

POLICE have issued an appeal for information after a group of women were struck by pellets in a town in Fife.

At around 1.45am on July 24, five women were walking near to Buchanan Gardens in St Andrews when they were shot at by the occupant of a passing car.

Three of the women were struck by pellets, however they did not need medical attention.

Police have said enquiries so far indicate there was a silver hatchback in the area at the time and have urged the occupants of the car to speak to them.

Sergeant Nicola Gillespie said: “Officers have been carrying out enquiries and are continuing to study CCTV images from the local area.

“I would urge anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident who saw anything suspicious or has any information that may assist our enquiry to contact us.

“I’d also appeal to any drivers with dash-cam to review their footage and please contact us if it holds anything relevant.

“If you can help please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0981 of Wednesday, July, 24, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
