A BOY sustained minor leg injuries after being shot in the leg with a pellet in Princes Risborough on Saturday.

The 15-year-old and his father were walking their dog in Wades Park, Stratton Road, at 4pm when the boy was shot, causing a graze to his shin.

Police want to speak to a male, described as being in his late teens and wearing a top with the hood up, who appeared to be carrying a rifle.

It is thought he was with one or two other people but no descriptions are available as it was dark at the time of the incident.

Contact police on 101 with any information or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
