THE man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he forced a car off the A47 near Guyhirn at the weekend has been released on bail.
Police swooped on a house in Leverington on Monday to arrest a 40-year-old man from the Wisbech area in connection with the shooting incident on Saturday that closed Fenland’s busiest road for 12 hours.
A spokesman confirmed that a firearm has not been found.
He was held at Thorpe Wood Police Station, Peterborough, and was released yesterday until December 21.
A 25-year-old man from Guyhirn sustained minor injuries after his car was forced off the road and flipped over.
He discharged himself from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn, where he was taken with not life-threatening injuries.
A police spokesman said the road remained closed for so long because officers needed to complete forensic work before the vehicle was removed.
CONTACT: Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident on Saturday. If you have any information call 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
