Detectives make two further arrests in County Durham shooting probe

Two further arrests have been made after a shooting in County Durham.

The pair were detained by police after the incident in Moutter Close, Horden , which happened during the early hours on December 8 and left a man in his 40s in hospital with serious injuries.

A man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and a woman has been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detectives already arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder and two women on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder on the day of the incident.

All three were released under investigation.

Officers are examining a number of locations across Peterlee and Horden as part of the investigation and Horden Household Waste Recycling Centre has also been closed to the public while enquiries continue.

Witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call Durham Constabulary on 101, quoting incident reference 51 of December 8.

Alternatively you can phone independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
