Man arrested following search warrant after Sheffield shooting

Police were called to Machon Bank at around 6.50pm on Friday 8 May following reports of shots being fired. Evidence of a firearms discharge was found at the scene but no one was injured.

An investigation into the incident has seen a “significant amount of drugs and weapons seized”, a South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said.

On Thursday morning, officers searched a property on Grange Crescent in Sharrow. A 20-year-old man arrested as part of the operation has since been bailed.

Between May 7 and 8, four men were injured in four separate shootings across the city, including three in Sharrow and Nether Edge.

DCI Jamie Henderson said: “We are committed to taking action against those who pose a risk to our communities or intend to cause fear and harm.“You will continue to see an increased presence in police officers in the area, we are there to protect you and provide reassurance.”
