CCTV appeal after shots fired in Clapham

Police appealing for information after a suspect opened fire on a group in broad daylight have released CCTV of the incident.

 

The incident occurred in Lavender Hill, Clapham, on 18 May 2016 at around 17:00hrs, when a group of males became involved in an altercation with an unknown suspect on a bicycle across the road from where they were standing.

The group then pursued the suspect who made off east on his bike along Lavender Hill. The suspect managed to get away.

A 9mm shell casing was recovered from the scene. It is believed that a 9mm hand pistol was used.
