A 20 year old Sandys parish man has been arrested in connection with the earlier reported shooting incident in the Mount Hill, Overview Hill Pembroke area and the stolen motocross cycle has been recovered.

Out of an abundance of caution, schools in the Somerset area were advised to keep their students inside during the police pursuit of the stolen motorcycle, but those schools shortly returned to normal operation.

Detectives are eager to speak with anyone that saw:-

• Two males on a scooter type motorcycle in the Mount Hill area of Pembroke entering Mount Hill from the Berkeley Road side. These males were wearing dark coloured clothing, and also wore black or dark coloured helmets at about 10:00am;
• The rider of a scrambler type motorcycle travelling west on Middle Road from Devonshire, Paget, Warwick, Southampton & Sandys parish and more specifically in the Somerset area between 10:15am & 11:30am Wednesday, January 25th.

Inquiries are ongoing into this non-injury shooting and detectives are continuing to appeal for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact the Serious Crime Unit on 247-1079 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
