POLICE have released this image of two potential witnesses who they believe could have vital information following a Bedworth shooting.

Officers are asking for the two women in the picture – or anyone who knows them – to contact them as soon as possible.

Five arrests have already been made following the shooting, which took place at around 8.15pm on June 26, in the area of Dark Lane and Smercote Close.

All those arrested have been released on police bail.

A victim was shot while with two other men and he was found a short time later on Smorrall Lane with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the chest.

The latest arrest was a 21-year-old man who was arrested in Croydon.




DI Collette O’Keefe said: “The women pictured were walking on Smercote Close shortly after the shooting and we believe they may have information that could be vital to our investigation.

“This was a terrible incident that has shocked the community and I would urge them to get in touch as soon as possible.”
