Teenagers arrested in Huddersfield shooting

    Two teenagers have been arrested following a shooting in Huddersfield.

    The two males, aged 17 and 18, were taken into custody yesterday, 30 July, having been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences and assisting an offender.

    Two men, aged 22 and 23, who were earlier arrested in connection with an incident in Holays on 27 July, in which a taxi driver received shotgun pellet injuries, have now been released pending further enquiries.

    The taxi driver, who is in his forties, was released from hospital after receiving treatment.

    A 14-year-old male and a 15-year-old female were earlier released pending further enquiries after being arrested on suspicion of firearms offences.

    Detectives are said to be keeping an open mind as to whether the firearms discharges in Dalton Fold in Rawthorpe on 22 July, The Ghyll in Fixby on 23 July and New House Road on 27 July are linked to the incident in Holays.

    A firearms discharge in the Lupset area of Wakefield on Saturday, 29 July, is not thought to be linked to those in the Kirklees District and enquiries are also continuing into this matter.
