Patrols have been increased in both areas in Bestwood and Sherwood
Nottingham parents have expressed their shock and concern after 10 people were shot at with a BB gun in two city suburbs. An investigation has been launched following the incidents, which took place on Wednesday, October 16, between 5.40pm and 7.25pm on Beckhampton Road, Bestwood , and Winchester Street, Sherwood .
Parents have now spoken out about their worries following the incidents. A mother living on Beckhampton Road, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I hadn't heard about this but it's shocking because I have two kids aged 16 and 13. "I told my son last night to be careful because of what I heard about Sherwood. It's not the same around here anymore.
A neighbour living on Mansfield Road in Sherwood said: "It's scary especially because I heard it was kids who were targeted. It's worrying because they haven't found the yet and those guns can still cause some damage, it's ridiculous around here. "It's all charity shops that they seem to open. They seem to have neglected it a bit, Sherwood used to be so nice. What happened on Wednesday is awful. There's no police presence around here. I think people are also reluctant to report things."
