Bedfordshire Police is appealing for witnesses after a man was shot in Luton on Wednesday (2 April) and have issued images of two people they would like to speak to.

Police were called just before 1:45pm to a report that a man had been shot in Needham Road.

The victim, who is in his 20s, has been in hospital with injuries that police say aren’t deemed to be life threatening.

Police have issued images of two people on a bike who may have information that can assist with their investigation.

Detective Inspector Kim Caddy said: “This was a violent incident which took place in the middle of the day and so we are following all lines of enquiry to establish the circumstances around it.

“We have released images of two people on a bike who we would like to speak to in relation to the incident as we believe they may have vital information. We know that the images of the individuals aren’t clear, but we are hoping that the bike they are riding may help jog people’s memories.

“We understand this is concerning for members of the public, and officers are increasing their patrols in the area.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or call 101 using Operation Calville.
