ENQUIRIES are ongoing after a teenager was threatened with what was believed to be a gun in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 18-year-old was walking on Sheffield Road with three friends at around 2.42am when a group of men allegedly approached and attempted to start a fight.
After walking away onto Corporation Street, police told the Chronicle he was threatened with a firearm.
A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said: “Officers attended the scene and conducted a search of the area.
“They recovered a firearm but it was later determined to be a pellet gun.
“If anyone has any information that might help our officers, please call 101 quoting incident number 116 of June 6.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
