South Yorkshire Police have issued a fresh plea for drivers and cyclists to check their dashcam footage after a 15-year-old boy was shot earlier this month.
Officers were called to Teynham Road in the Shirecliffe area of Sheffield at 7.13pm on Wednesday 8 March following reports of a shooting.
A 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg, and was discharged later in March.
Detective Inspector Chris Ronayne from the Armed Crime Team said: “Incidents such as this quite rightly cause concern within our communities and over the last three weeks we have been working hard to understand the circumstances surrounding the shooting.”
As the investigation continues, officers have asked drivers and cyclists who may have been in the area at the time to check their dashcam footage for any potential evidence.
DI Ronayne said: “As part of this, we are reiterating our appeal to motorists who may have been travelling through the local area around the time of the shooting.
“If you were travelling on Herries Road between Norwood Avenue and Teynham Road, or Penrith Road and Longley Avenue West, between 7-7.30pm on Wednesday 8 March I’d urge you to check your dashcam footage to see if you have captured anything that might be useful to our investigation.”
Any footage should be submitted to enquiries@southyorks.pnn.police.uk, quoting incident number 886 of 8 March 2023, or by contacting the police via the live chat portal.
