Yesterday Lancashire Police asked for your help to find 19-year-old Warren Williams who we wanted to speak to about a shooting in Skelmersdale.

Following the appeal Mr Williams has now been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He is currently in custody.

In case you didn’t see our earlier appeals here’s a reminder of the details of the incident.

We were called to Birch Green Road at 6.11pm on Wednesday, November 9th.

A man, aged in his 30s, was found with a gunshot wound to his leg and was taken to hospital to be treated, where he remains.

A 21-year-old man from Skelmersdale arrested earlier on suspicion of attempted murder has been released on police bail.

We are really grateful to everyone who has provided information so far and we would continue to appeal to anyone who has information, saw anything suspicious or who has CCTV or other footage, to get in touch.
