Officers have today revealed they are seeking information about a white BMW X1 which may have been in the area when a 16-year-old boy was shot in the head two weeks ago.

The boy remains in a serious condition in hospital after he was injured by a shotgun in Graiseley Street, Pennfields, on May 6.

And detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen a white BMW X1 in the area when the attack happened just before 8pm.
