Second arrest after man shot on Huyton driveway
A second man has been arrested in connection with a shooting in Huyton.
Just before 10.20pm on Friday, November 28, Merseyside Police received a report that a man had been shot twice in his leg on the driveway of an address on Radway Road by two men on a Sur-ron bike.
A man in his 20s was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his leg.
On Wednesday (December 17), a 35-year-old man from Allerton was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life; Section 18 wounding; criminal damage; and possession of cannabis. He has been conditionally bailed pending further enquiries.
A 31-year-old man from Nottingham was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm. He has been conditionally bailed.
Detective Inspector Chris Clark from Merseyside Police’s Firearms Investigation Team said: “This investigation is progressing, and this second man is now under investigation. However, we are still keen to speak to anyone with information who has not yet made themselves known.
“What you know could still prove vital in bringing those responsible to justice, and please do not assume that we already hold this information. Our team will make that assessment, and take the appropriate action. Whether you have a first-hand account, dashcam, CCTV, doorbell or other footage, come forward.
Knowsley Local Policing Superintendent Karl Baldwin said: “We understand the fear that gun crime causes and will continue to provide a visible and proactive police presence in the Huyton community.
“It is vital that those in the community work with us to reduce the risk. Silence is not an option. Information can be passed directly to those officers; over the phone; online; or anonymously via Crimestoppers, which is completely independent of the police.”
