A teenager has been injured after being shot in the neck with an air rifle in Kirkcaldy on Monday afternoon.

Police have launched an investigation into the incident which occurred on Rosslyn Street in the town.

The teenage victim sustained minor injuries in the  attack which The Courier understands happened around 2pm.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police in Fife are investigating after a teenager was injured by an air weapon in Kirkcaldy.

“The incident happened on the afternoon of Monday June 17 after the weapon was fired from a black Transit van on Rosslyn Street.

“The 16-year-old victim sustained a minor injury to his neck and inquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible.”

Reports of the attack had surface earlier on Monday evening through Fife Jammers Facebook page who appealed to members of the public to check their CCTV for anything suspicious.

The Fife Jammers post said: “The police will probably investigate too, but doing this and passing on any info could save someone a serious injury and a lot of time.

“It seems to be completely random, we have been asked to share this so more people are aware of what’s happened.”
