GUNMEN wearing balaclavas burst into two Kirkby pubs within 10 minutes.

At about 11.45pm on Tuesday, two masked men walked in to the Windmill Hotel, in Tower Hill, and fired a shot at the television before leaving.

Forensic officers have carried out examinations and officers are examining CCTV footage.

Ten minutes later, three men, one armed with a handgun, got out of a car outside the Roughwood Hotel, on Roughwood Drive.

They approached a leaving customer and demanded to know who was in inside. They then left the scene in a dark-coloured car.

Witnesses can call the Guncrime Hotline on 0800 458 1211, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
