An 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after shots were fired at a home in South Yorkshire.

Police said there were reports of shots being fired on Rosedale Close, in Aston, at around 23:30 BST on Sunday.

The person who lived at the address was not at home and no one was injured, according to South Yorkshire Police.

The two suspects were also arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent and they remain in custody.

Officers said that although no one was hurt, the windows of the home and the neighbour's property were damaged in the attack.

A blue Skoda Octavia, which police believe may have been used during the shooting, was found abandoned in the Darnall area of Sheffield.
