PSNI Arrest Two Over Croydon Cops Shooting
Northern Ireland's Police Service (PSNI) have arrested two men following the shooting of a police officer in south Croydon earlier this month.
On Wednesday evening the men, aged 20 and 26, were arrested at a house in south Belfast and a number of items were removed from the Lisburn Road house for examination.
Currently, both men are being questioned about the attempted murder with the 26-year-old man being brought to London later for questioning, while the 20-year-old is being held in Northern Ireland.
Last Friday the unarmed policeman was shot on Kingsdown Avenue while chasing three men.
The male PC is believed to have been chasing the men at around 10pm on July 15 when one of them opened fire and shot him in the arm.
Met Police officers then travelled to Northern Ireland this week to take custody of the 26-year-old man, who is now being taken to London for questioning about the attempted murder of the officer.
Two other men have already been charged in connection with the shooting.
Adewale Ogunsanya, aged 22, of Leigham Court Road, Streatham, south London, and Demar Provan, aged 21, of no fixed address, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on July 18 charged with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and possessing ammunition.
They are due at Croydon Crown Court on September 23.
