Four individuals have been charged in connection with a shooting in Huyton, Merseyside last November.
On the night of 28th November, a man in his 20s was shot on the driveway of a house on Radway Road and sustained serious leg injuries.
In response to this incident, police conducted several raids across Knowsley, Sefton, and Liverpool on 19th February, leading to the arrest of four men.
The charged individuals are Patrick Sean Lacey, 32, from Crosby; John Aaron Jones, 35, from Allerton; John George Patrick Hughes, 31, of no fixed abode; and Bernard Flynn, 61, from Bootle.
These men face multiple charges including attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, possession of a shotgun and ammunition with intent to endanger life, Section 18 GBH, and conspiracy to cause GBH.
They are scheduled to appear at Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, and St Helens Adult Remand Court today.
Detective Inspector Chris Clark from the Firearms Investigation Team commented on the ongoing investigation.
“These coordinated warrants were carried out as part of an ongoing investigation, and all four men will appear in court today.
“Our work continues, so I would ask that people who have yet to come forward still do so.
Please do not assume that we already hold information.
Our team will make that assessment, and will take the appropriate action.
Whether you have a first-hand account, dashcam, CCTV, doorbell or other footage, come forward."
