PSNI appeal for witnesses after shots fired at police station

A number of bullets hit the back of Lisnakea Police Station in Fermanagh last Monday night.

POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland have appealed for information from the public after shots were fired at a police station in Fermanagh.

The incident happened on Monday 23 December when a number of bullets hit the back of Lisnakea Police Station at around 8.10pm that evening.

The PSNI said no-one was injured in the shooting.

Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore condemned what he described as a ‘vile attack’ and said that an attack on ‘one of us is an attack on all who support peace and the rule of law’.

A grey or green Volkswagen Passet is believed to have been used by the people who carried out the attack. A saloon-type car was found on fire around 11 kilometres away one hour afterwards and officers are investigating a link between the car and the shooting.

Detectives have called on anyone with any information about the shooting or the Volkswagen Passet to contact the PSNI.
