Twenty four-year-old Nathan Harrod, who goes by the nickname 'Swampy', was hunted by the police along with Daniel Wogan, 22.

Daniel had surrendered himself to the police earlier on Wednesday (December 25).

A 31-year-old man had suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and was rushed to Barnsley hospital. He underwent surgery but is expected to make a full recovery.
