A businessman who was shot by attackers on the doorstep of his home has been moved to a secret location.

Colin Pester, 61, had been recovering from gunshot wounds in Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.

He was attacked at his house in the city's Lancaster Gardens on 30 April. Police have made a number of arrests in connection with the incident.

Two men, aged 42 and 43, have been bailed until 7 July. A 25-year-old man has been bailed until 16 June.

We have 60 officers still working on the investigation Det. Supt. Steve Carey, Devon and Cornwall Police

Mr Pester's new location has been kept secret and it is not known whether he was well enough to leave hospital.

During the attack he was pistol-whipped and shot in the stomach.

He runs a car dealership in the Mutley area of Plymouth and neighbours said the home he shares with his wife, son and daughter, has been broken into on a number of occasions.

Police said "high-value" jewellery was stolen during the confrontation, including two gold Rolex watches and a number of women's rings.

Det Supt Steve Carey from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We continue to take this incident very seriously and have around 60 officers still working on the investigation."
