It is also an offence to discharge an air weapon within 50 feet of the centre of a public road as to endanger or impede any road user and carry an air weapon in any public place without a lawful excuse.
PCSO Enya Bellis-Jones said: "Not only is it illegal to fire the missile of an air weapon outside the keepers address it is also highly dangerous, the consequences of not firing the weapon securely could cause injury to people or wildlife or cause damage to property.
"If you have any information regarding who owns the air weapon, please do not hesitate to contact NWP on 101 or online using our website, quoting the reference 23000000868."
