(about 11 hours later) | |
People are using air guns and rifles to target gulls in a Cornish town, police have said. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police said it had received five reports from Falmouth residents whose windows had been damaged by pellets. | |
The force said it was illegal to kill the birds, and an offence to discharge an air weapon in public. | |
It added anyone involved in the "dangerous" activity should stop before a "very serious incident" occurred. | It added anyone involved in the "dangerous" activity should stop before a "very serious incident" occurred. |

She said: "I came home and there was a big hole and glass all over the floor. | |
"I thought it may have been a bird, but having spoken to another neighbour they revealed that somebody had an air gun and shot at the window." |
