Three more arrests over Nottingham police officer shooting

Three more people have been arrested over the shooting of a police officer in Nottingham city centre.

Detectives have also been given more time to question a woman already in custody over the incident.

The officer was shot in the foot after he approached two suspects at a bus stop in Angel Row at 4.50am on Sunday. He continues to be treated in hospital.

Three people were arrested in a vehicle later that evening, including a 27-year-old woman on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a firearm with intent.

Nottinghamshire Police said on Wednesday that magistrates had approved a new period of detention in relation to the female suspect.

The other two people who were in the vehicle - a 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman - have been released on bail.

Among the three new arrests was a 21-year-old woman who was detained in southeast London on Tuesday on suspicion of assisting an offender. She has since been released on bail.

A 35-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were also arrested in separate areas of Nottingham on Wednesday on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and assisting an offender. Both remain in custody.

Meanwhile, a 30-year-old man arrested in Bedfordshire in the early hours of Monday on suspicion of assisting an offender has been recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his licence.
