Happy to share the crime reference number for the incident that opened the thread. CAD 1449/27 NOV UB

I wish my eyesight was as keen as yours MarkT and I had got the registration number. I'm now aware of another similar incident that took place on LL on Wednesday that may or may not be connected. The police have now taken the details of my incident and advise they will link up other information they receive, so please come forward if you have been affected by this. Any action that leads to a credible deterrent to stop this will be a good thing.

A warning and a call out to others who may have been unfortunate to experience this. On two occasions this week (Tuesday and Thursday) I have been shot as I walk along Underhill Road by The old cemetery. Both incidents occurred at about 07:25 and both times I was hit in the back of the head. On both occasions a white transit van was driving passed that proceeds down Underhill Road. The first time I thought the van may have kicked up a stone and thought no more of it, when it happened again I was in no doubt that I had been targeted by something that was quite accurate, hence an air pistol, but I may be wrong. Whatever it was it hurts and it could do some real damage if it hit you elsewhere. Regrettably I didn't take the time to try and find the projectiles, nor did I get the registration number of the van. It is possible that the shot was not taken from the van. It's doubtful I'm the only target and it would be interesting to know if anyone else has had the same experience. The police have been notified and statements are due to be taken. I encourage you to do the same if you have experienced or witnessed something similar. Apologies to those living in the vicinity who will have heard a choice word or two shouted by me on Thursday morning. UB

I'll keep this brief. I understand that Campervan Man is now renting a flat in the local area. It does have a toilet I gather!
