A cash reward of up to £3,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for a shooting at an Old Basford pub. A 22-year-old woman was seriously injured when a weapon was fired into the rear garden of the Vernon Pub, in Vernon Avenue, Old Basford, at about 9.30pm on Friday August 17. The victim was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham. She was later discharged and has since recovered. Crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers is now backing a re-appeal for information issued by Nottinghamshire Police yesterday. Julie Furnival, East Midlands Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, said: "Police believe that the woman injured in the incident was an innocent bystander simply enjoying an evening out with friends. "It is horrifying that people think they can fire a gun into a crowded public space and get away with it. "We are committed to helping police trace the person or people responsible and I am urging anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers anonymously – we only want to know what you know, not who you are." Six people have previously been arrested in connection with the incident and all remain on bail pending further enquiries. Officers will be in the Old Basford area today and handing out leaflets as part of the re-appeal for information. Detectives believe someone in the community could have vital information about the incident. Detective Chief Inspector Louise Jordan said: "The victim was innocently enjoying a drink with friends when she was seriously injured. She spent a significant time undergoing treatment and still bears not only the physical, but also the emotional scars of her ordeal. "Do you know anything about the incident or know who is responsible? If you have any information, regardless of how insignificant you think it is, contact Nottinghamshire Police or Crimestoppers immediately." Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the secure online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
