Police at the scene He said: “We have already received information. The call for information has been pushed a little further today, so we hope the information will keep coming. “Anything people can contribute – big or small – could be vital.” DI Stott gave a timeline of the events that followed a 999 call from an audience member who reported hearing a shot. He said: “Shortly after midnight yesterday morning, there was a shooting at Crabtree in Paston. We received a call at 00:34 from an audience member who said they heard it, and police and an ambulance were present.

However, he said he could not say there was a connection to an incident in February where shots were heard in the nearby Sheepwalk – but police were open-minded. He said: “Obviously we know this is happening in February, but I can not say that there is a connection at the moment. But we keep an open mind. “We want to reassure the community that we do not believe there is a danger to the general public. “It is obviously worrying and given the nature of the incident we are increasing patrols in the area today and at the weekend, but that is reassuring. “It is rare to have incidents with firearms.” DI Stott said there was a “large team” working on the case, including the Befordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire Major Incident Unit, Peterborough neighborhood policing teams and other Cambridgeshire officers. The siege is still in place today as evidence is being gathered and police are conducting further door-to-door investigations – but the siege will be reviewed, with the possibility of removing it in the next 24 hours. DI Stott said police were communicating with community leaders in Paston and reiterated their call for anyone to provide information. He said; “We are in contact with these community leaders and if people have information but do not want to come to the police, they can get it from us. “Everything can help.” Anyone with information is required to contact the Major Crime Unit by calling 101 and reporting Operation Brecon or reporting it either online at www.cambs.police.uk/report or by chatting online You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers , anonymously, at 0800 555 111.
