He has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, in connection with a shooting on Fieldhead Road on September 21, 2026.

“Last week a man was charged in connection with the incident and four other people have also been arrested as part of the investigation.”
A police van and car have been present on the street since this morning, with an officer seen guarding a property believed to be at the centre of this incident.
Armed officers have also been seen in the Sharrow area.
Police officers could be seen searching bins and inspecting cars on Wostenholm Road, seemingly as part of the same pre-planned operation.
