“The arrest was made in connection with the shooting of a 17-year-old boy at the Greenfield traveller site, Braybrooke, on Sunday 10 July 2016. The victim suffered serious life-changing injuries.

“The 41-year-old man has been released on police bail pending further enquiries. A number of other people, who have been arrested since this complex investigation started, remain on police bail.
