Gang police are appealing for information about three vehicles after gunshots were heard in Homerton last night.

Officers were called to Retreat Place at 11.40pm after reports of shots being fired. They found shell casings but no gun or victim.

Detectives are now appealing for information about the incident and want to speak to anyone who may have seen vehicles which seemed out of place.

Det Sgt Adam Knowles from Trident said no one is believed to have been injured.

"Three dark coloured vehicles were seen leaving Retreat Place in the direction of Morning Lane," he said. "We would like to hear from anyone who saw these vehicles, or who was driving them. "
