Two men have been seriously injured during a shooting in Arlesey.

Bedfordshire Police were called to reports of a firearm discharge on Tuesday (April 9th), at Woodview Lodge Hitchin Road.

Two men, one in his 20s and the other in his 30s, are being treated for injuries, not believed to be life threatening, in hospital.

Patrols in the area have been increased, with more officers stepping up the police presence.

Police have now launched an appeal for witnesses to the incident, as well as information or footage.

They're also searching for a grey or silver Mercedes as part of enquiries.

Detective Inspector Scott Fowler of Bedfordshire Police’s specialist Boson Gangs and Guns Unit said: “We would particularly like to identify the users of a grey or silver 5-door Mercedes C or E class that was seen in the area at the time of the offence.”
