At the time of the incident on midnight July 28 2020, one resident heard "loud noises that sounded like gun shots".

Three bangs were heard at about 10.20pm that evening and as a result, a police helicopter was dispatched and officers arrested Spindlow at the scene.

Spindlow was charged with one count of possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence on 30 July, two days after the ordeal.

The offender pleaded guilty to the offence on Monday, November 16, at a hearing at Reading Crown Court.

He was jailed for two years and four months on Friday, November after he was convicted of possession of an imitation firearm in Bracknell.

Three bullet casings, believed to be from blanks, were recovered from the scene by officers. 

 CCTV also captured some of the incident, including the discharge of two of the gun shots.

The victim, a man aged in his 20s, was not injured.

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Mike Bettington, said: “The actions of Spindlow on 28 July are a shocking example of the behaviour of one individual unhappy with events in their street.

“Thankfully, such incidents are rare and on this occasion, nobody was injured. The casings that were located suggested that these were blanks.

“In this instance, and like all such incidents, police were swift to respond, detain Spindlow and prosecute him for this serious offence.

“Anyone who possesses a firearm in public can expect to be quickly dealt with, prosecuted and imprisoned.

“The public and the police will not tolerate such reckless behaviour in our communities.”
