An investigation has been launched following a collision and firearms discharge in Sheffield which are currently being treated as linked.  

We were called to Blackstock Road at 7.25pm on Wednesday (4 December) where it was reported a car had left the road and crashed into a home, causing extensive damage.  

This was originally treated as a road traffic collision, but we have since recovered further evidence consistent with a firearms discharge.  

There have been no reports of any injuries at this time.  

Detective Inspector Claire Moss, from our Armed Crime Team, said: "I understand news of this incident will cause concern among the local community and, while we are still in the early stages of our investigation, I want to make it very clear that we are working extremely hard to bring those responsible to justice.  

"Gun violence has absolutely no place in South Yorkshire. It won't be tolerated.  

"Our officers will be patrolling the area over the weekend and I would urge anyone who has any questions or concerns to speak directly to them. They are there to help and keep you safe.

"We're now appealing for anyone with information to come forward and report it to us. We're particularly keen to hear from anyone with relevant video footage which could help our enquiries.  

"Were you in the area on Wednesday night? Do you have home CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage that could help our enquiries? Even the smallest piece of intelligence from you could prove vital as we piece

together what happened."
