Three further arrests made as part of attempted murder investigation after a car hit a pedestrian.

Overnight and into this morning (Tuesday 3 June) detectives arrested two 15-year-old boys from Fareham and Hedge End on suspicion of attempted murder, causing injury through dangerous driving, vehicle interference, theft from a shop, and failing to stop following a collision.

It follows an incident which happened just after 3am in Montefiore Drive, Sarisbury Green on May 29 following a collision involving a pedestrian and dark coloured car, which police now believe was an Audi, that did not stop at the scene.

A 24-year-old man from Fareham was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, causing injury through dangerous driving, and failing to stop following a collision. All three remain in custody, with the latest arrests following the arrests of two teenagers yesterday (June 2).

A police statement said: “A 38-year-old man was taken to Southampton General Hospital, where he remains, for treatment to serious, potentially life changing, injuries. His condition continues to be described as stable.
