Sadly this news article is not to tell you that Hellesdon is well known for its early settlement during the flint age thought to date back at least 4,000 years, but for a far more macarb reason.

Many cats are being injured in the north of Hellesdon. They are being shot at by someone with an air rifle. Pet owners are confused and are getting together to try to find the culprit. In the last four months, there have been at least four incidents in which cats were the victim of air rifle shots and suffered serious injuries. These incidents have taken place in Hellesdon area. There might be many other such incidents which may have gone unreported.      Recently, a 14 year old ginger colour cat named Rosie was found injured. A shattered bullet was found in her back leg. The owner, Wendy Curson, is very concerned about her cat Rosie and has spent hundreds of pounds on her treatment. The cat was found in a serious state and was immediately taken to the vet for treatment.
