A manhunt is underway for two males wanted by police in connection with a shooting.

Leo Morris, 17, and Morgan Frances, 20, are being actively sought by officers investigating the serious incident – with numerous armed searches being carried out at the weekend.

A man was shot in the arm in Sackville Close, Walcot, on Thursday (23 March).

In a statement, a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Officers would urgently like to speak to them both in connection with a recent serious incident in Sackville Close, in the Walcot area of Swindon on Thursday (23/03).

“Morgan is described as being about 180 cm (5ft 9in) with dark hair and a slim build. Leo is about 173 cm tall (5ft 6in) with dark brown hair and of slim build.

“They are both thought to be in Swindon.

“Members of the public are advised not to approach them but to call us on 999 immediately giving as much information as you can.

“If you want to provide information without giving your name, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”

A 23-year-old man arrested in connection with the shooting on Saturday has been released on bail.
