Brora window broken by catapult fire sparks police appeal

Police have launched an appeal for information after a house suffered damage in a residential area in Brora.

Officers were called after a window had been “inadvertently” broken by a ball bearing shot from a slingshot or catapult on Monday, around midday.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Around midday on Monday March 24, 2025, a slingshot or catapult appears to have been used to fire steel shot or metal ball bearings, inadvertently striking a window.

“The damage does not appear intentional however police would like to remind the public of the danger of firing such items in a residential area, both to property and of risk of severe injury to the general public.

“If you have any information which may assist in tracing those responsible, please call 101 quoting CR/115976/25.”
