Three men arrested in connection with Dalston shooting

Detectives investigating a shooting in Dalston in May 2024, which left a nine-year-old girl with life-changing injuries, have arrested three men for conspiracy to murder.

The men - aged 36, 35 and 28 - were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, 25 February and have been released on bail pending further investigation.

The arrests relate to an incident in Kingsland High Street at 21:20hrs on Wednesday, 29 May in which a nine-year-old girl received serious injuries. Her family has been informed of the arrests and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.

Three other men were also injured in the shooting.

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Dalloway, who leads the investigation, said:

“A little girl’s life was traumatically changed on the evening of Wednesday, 29 May. The dangerous individual responsible for those life-changing injuries remains on our streets, and people out there know who pulled the trigger.

“This investigation is not slowing down. We need to hear from those who have information about the identity of an individual seen on a motorcycle in Kingsland High Street at the time of this offence, or if anyone has seen the same model of Ducati Monster.

“We recognise people may be apprehensive about sharing information, but it is imperative they do so. They do not need to speak directly to the police.

“They can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. Alternatively they can contact our officers via 101, quoting 8082/29May.”
