There is no change to the status of the investigation and detectives from the HMCC will be able to draw upon additional resources available to them.

Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Packer said: “The victim of this shooting currently remains in hospital in a critical condition and it is of paramount importance that anyone who witnessed or saw anything that night comes forward and speaks to us. The victim was in the car park of the Travel Lodge hotel and was shot at as he sat in a car. This is a really busy area, if you were in Lincoln Road near to Great Cambridge Road last Wednesday and remember anything no matter how small now is the time to say something.”
