A 21-year-old man has been arrested as part of an investigation into two shootings in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

He was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in connection with a shooting on Bassett Hill in Upper Langwith, Derbyshire.

His arrest came after police raided two addresses in Leeds in the early hours of this morning (January 9).

Officers say “as part of the wider enquiry” they are investigating the shooting outside Das Kino in Fletcher Gate, Nottingham, which happened at around 10.20pm on Saturday, November 3.

A gunman rode up to the venue on a moped before opening fire. A 24-year-old woman, who police say was not the intended target, was shot in the arm.

Jordan Murray, 25, of Bestwood Park, has previously been charged with attempted murder and possession of a prohibited weapon and ammunition in connection both the Fletcher Gate and the Bassett Hill incidents.

Tarquin James, 28, of Woodthorpe, has also been charged with attempted murder and possession of a prohibited weapon and ammunition in connection with the Fletcher Gate incident.

Officers have also charged Nathaniel Skerritt, 31, of Sherwood, with attempted murder and possession of a prohibited weapon and ammunition in connection with the Fletcher Gate incident and possession of a prohibited weapon and ammunition in connection with a warrant at a property in Sherwood on November 8.

Murray, James and Skerritt were all remanded in custody at previous hearings and are next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (10 January).
