Three men have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a man in Telford four years ago.

Tamba Momodu, 20, was shot six times in the Bridges Business Park car park in Horsehay on 13 October 2020.

A murder investigation was launched and, later that night, a grey Skoda Karoq was found burnt out in the car park at the bottom of The Wrekin in Wellington. The car was linked to Tamba’s shooting.

Extensive enquiries were carried out across the country and 30 people arrested.

Yesterday (30 April), three men were arrested on suspicion of murder and arson and are currently in police custody, with the assistance of the Dutch authorities for one of the arrests.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Bellamy, said: “I have maintained my commitment to Tamba’s family that we will do all we can to give them the answers they need around Tamba’s death.

“Yesterday’s arrests were the result of comprehensive complex enquiries and I’m grateful for the assistance of the Dutch authorities.

“This investigation has spanned three and half years during which time we have worked relentlessly on multiple lines of enquiry and highlights our commitment to protect our communities and take action against those suspected of being involved in serious violence.”
