Two more teenagers arrested after child hit by e-bike outside Chester school
An electric motorcycle has also been recovered
Two more teenagers have been arrested after a five-year-old boy was seriously injured in a hit and run outside a primary school in Chester.
He was taken to hospital with serious injuries after being hit by a blue electric bike outside Mill View Primary on Wealdstone Lane at around 3:20pm on Tuesday 22 July.
The five-year-old has since been released and is now continuing his recovery at home.
Two 17-year-old boys from Chester are being questioned on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, obstructing police, and assisting an offender.
An electric motorcycle was also recovered during the arrests.
A 16-year-old boy from Saughall was arrested last week, after handing himself into police - he was questioned on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop following a collision, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance.
He has since been released under investigation.
Detective Sergeant Russ Sime, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Cheshire Police, said:
"Once again, I would like to thank the local community for all the support and information provided so far in relation to this incident.
"We understand the impact that this incident has had, and I hope that the three arrests will provide some reassurance for the local community.
"I’m also pleased to say that the victim from the case has now been released from hospital and is recovering at home.
"As our investigation continues, we’re keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with any video footage that may aid the investigation."
