Detectives investigating a shooting are continuing to appeal for information, including asking for CCTV and dashboard mounted camera footage.  

Police were called at 5.56pm on November 15 after receiving reports of a suspected firearms discharge in an alleyway at the rear of Skipton Street in Morecambe.

Emergency services attended and found a man from the area, aged in his 20s, with facial injuries. He was taken to hospital where he remained for a number of days.

Following an investigation two men were charged with attempted murder by police.

Six people, arrested in connection with the incident, were released on bail pending further enquiries.

Joshua David Giles, 19, of Pendlebury Road, Swinton, Manchester, was charged with attempted murder and was remanded into custody to appeal before magistrates on Monday November 22.

A 19-year-old man arrested in Greater Manchester on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder has been bailed for that matter but recalled to prison in relation to other matters.

A 29-year-old woman from Morecambe arrested on Friday November 19 on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

A second man was previously charged with attempted murder, he is Levi McCandlish, 26, of Borwick Court, Morecambe, and appeared before Blackpool Magistrates’ Court on Friday November 19.

A number of people have been arrested by police in connection with their enquiries:

A 16-year-old boy from Lancaster arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed until December 14.

A 41-year-old woman from Lancaster arrested on suspicion of assisting offenders.

A 13-year-old boy from Lancaster arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed to December 13.

A 55-year-old man from Morecambe arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed to December 13.

Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who might have any footage showing what happened.

Det Ch Insp James Edmonds, of Lancashire Police, said: “While we have charged two men this is very much a live investigation and we are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.

“Thankfully offences of this nature are rare and we would like to reassure the public we have a number of detectives dedicated to the investigation and we have increased patrols in the area.

“We would be particularly interested in whether anyone has any dashcam or CCTV footage from the Skipton Street area around the time of the offence.
