Detectives have appealed for witnesses after a firearm was discharged at a property in Renfrewshire.

The “reckless act” happened in the Glencoats Drive area of Paisley, around 1.30am on Wednesday.

Police believe a dark-coloured vehicle was in the area shortly before the firearm was used and left immediately afterwards.

Officers are keen to speak to two people, both believed to be male, who may have seen or heard the incident.

Detective inspector Ian Ross said: “Enquiries so far confirm that a firearm was discharged at a property.

“Thankfully nobody was injured as a result of this reckless act. We also believe a dark-coloured vehicle was in the area shortly before the firearm was discharged and left immediately after.

“We continue to appeal for information and I am particularly keen to speak to two people who were walking a dog on the street at the time – believed to be two males, one possibly a child.

“It’s possible they may have heard or witnessed the incident.”

There will be a heightened police presence in the area as enquiries continue.

Anyone who has information on the incident should contact police on 101.
