Third held over drive-by shooting

The pair were walking along Lipson Road when the shots were fired

A third person has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man and a youth were hit by pellets fired from a car in Cheltenham.

The victims, aged 34 and 16, suffered minor head and facial injuries in the incident in Lipson Road on 12 May.

The pair were discharged from hospital after treatment, but have refused to co-operate with police investigations.

A 20-year-old man from Cheltenham was arrested in Hesters Way at the weekend and was released on police bail.

Another 20-year-old and a youth aged 16 were arrested earlier and questioned about the drive-by shooting.

Police said the car from which the pellets were fired was believed to be a white Subaru Impreza.

It was driven away from the scene at speed, closely followed by a second car, thought to be a blue Vauxhall Vectra.
