Gunshots were reported in both Powis Avenue and Lower Church Lane soon after 3pm on Saturday, and West Midlands Police said officers are reviewing CCTV footage.

Video circulating on social media shows a car manoeuvring in Powis Avenue, close to an entrance to Jubilee Park, before a loud bang is heard and a car reverses up the road at speed.

The car then reverses into a driveway before pulling out in the opposite direction and speeding off in the direction of Toll End Road, pursued by another car.

An updated West Midlands Police statement released on Sunday said: "We're investigating after gunshots were fired between cars in Tipton yesterday afternoon (4 February).

"They were fired in both Powis Avenue and nearby Lower Church Lane at just after 3pm.

"We're unaware of anyone having been injured but our enquiries to establish what happened are ongoing.

"We're continuing to review CCTV and carry out other enquiries in the area.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact us via Live Chat on our website and quote log 2566 of February 4."
