YOUTHS have shot air guns in a wood.

The guns were seen in near Rowntree Gardens in Worcester both on Tuesday morning and Monday morning.

Police have attended and conducted searches and reassurance patrols of the area, making a number of enquiries to determine if any such activity has taken place.

A West Mercia Police spokesman said: "Warndon Safer Neighbourhood Team is aware of the reports and will continue to monitor and patrol the area to provide reassurance to the local community.

"Officers would like to remind the public that it is an offence for anyone to have an air weapon (whether loaded or unloaded) in a public place without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, and any such incidents will be dealt with appropriately."
