The first victim, a man in his 70s, was driving on Wednesday between 9.30am and 10am when the masked man approached his car.
He pointed the firearm at the driver, who heard a bang before driving off.
Thankfully the man and his car had not been hit by the weapon.

He wore black trousers, a dark-coloured hooded top and black trainers with a Covid-style facemask covering his face.
He may have also been wearing sunglasses, Thames Valley Police said.
