A total of four people have been arrested in connection with a shooting in Little Steeping

Two more men have been arrested in connection with a shooting in a Lincolnshire village.

A man in his 30s suffered "life-changing" injuries after being hit in the leg by shotgun pellets in Little Steeping on 25 May, police said.

On Friday, a 36-year-old man was arrested in Spilsby on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of class A drugs, while a 37-year-old man was arrested in the Skegness area on suspicion of attempted murder.

Both men have been released on police bail while investigations continue, Lincolnshire Police said.

The men are the third and fourth to be arrested in connection with the incident.

Michael Watling, 37, of Guard House Avenue, Keighley, appeared before Lincoln magistrates on 28 May charged with attempted murder.

He was remanded into custody and is due to appear at Lincoln Crown Court on 25 June.

A 33-year-old man was also arrested last month and has been released on bail, Lincolnshire Police said.
