Police are investigating after a man was shot with an air rifle.

Two men were seen firing a black air rifle at a fence behind Cowie bowling club at about 2.15pm on Tuesday 23 June.

One of the pellets struck a man working nearby, and the pair made off in a silver van parked at the bowling club.

The men were both in their 20s. One was wearing a yellow hi-vis vest and dark trousers, while the other wore a navy blue fleece and a black and red hat.

A Police Scotland spokesman appealed for information about the “extremely reckless act”.
