Detectives are working on the theory that the car was occupied at the time.

Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Jamie Henderson, leading the investigation, said: “A team of officers are continuing to carry out enquiries, including house-to-house efforts and an extensive CCTV trawl of Chapel Street and the wider Woodhouse area.

“What we know so far is that after the car was shot at, a number of men got into the car, driving away from the area.
