Pedestrians and home hit by pellet guns in separate incidents
The London police are investigating four separate incidents that saw pedestrians and a home hit by pellet guns. On May 27 around 7 p.m., officers said a man was seen walking near Viscount and Farnham roads, when a pellet pistol came from the back passenger of a passenger vehicle, shooting the man. The victim was hit multiple times but wasn't hurt. On the same day around 9 p.m., a citizen saw a Dodge Caravan parked on Edmonton Street, allegedly firing suspected pellets from a plastic gun at a home. The van was then seen pulling into a parking lot nearby and the citizen watched three men get out of the vehicle. No damage was reported to the home. Just before 10 p.m., another incident was reported where a pedestrian was hit by a pellet. The caller didn't want police to attend the scene, so it's not known where it took place. The next day, on May 28 around 11:30 a.m., a woman was driving a vehicle in the area of Southdale Road West and Farnham Road, when she said she was shot with a suspected pellet gun by a man in a white SUV. The victim said there were four suspects in the vehicle. The London Police Service said it's not known if the incidents are connected. The investigation into each is ongoing. Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to call the LPS at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers also accepts reports online.

Later in the day on Tuesday, a motorcycle was reported stolen from a Woodstock address. On Wednesday just after midnight, a London police officer saw the red Mustang with the stolen license plate attached to it near Wharncliffe Road South and Commissioners Road.
