Do you know this man: CCTV images released after gun fired and arson attack in Halifax

Police are keen to speak to the man in the photos after a gunshot was reported on Gibraltar Road and a vehicle was set on fire in the early hours of December 18.

Specialist officers attended and found damage to the front door of the building which they say “was consistent with a shotgun discharge”.

A vehicle parked outside the property was also set alight.

The suspects left the scene in a white van, say officers, which they believe was stolen and had been brought to Halifax from Birmingham.

The van has since been recovered by police and detectives are working alongside officers at West Midlands Police to investigate what happened.

Senior Investigating Officer, T/Detective Chief Inspector Jodie Hayes, said: “I’d like to reassure people that this incident is currently being treated as an isolated and targeted incident.

"No one was injured but clearly the discharge of any firearm in a public place is a very serious matter and something the police will absolutely not tolerate.

“I would appeal for anyone who recognises the man pictured, anyone who was in the area at that time or who may have video footage of the incident, or circumstances leading up to it, to please come forward.”
