THE sound of "gunfire" in an Epping field last night was probably caused by noise from farming equipment, police said today.
Officers rushed to an area surrounding Brook Road at 10.30pm yesterday after residents reported hearing gunshots.
After an "extensive" police search of the area officers found no evidence of any shooting, and concluded the noise was probably caused by machinery at a nearby farm.
