Five men have been arrested as investigations continue into two recent shootings in the district.

Armed police made a number of searches in the BD2, BD9 areas of Bradford, as well as an area of Keighley, overnight and into this morning.

A spokesman said one man was arrested at 7.20am today in relation to the shootings in Heaton Road, Manningham, on Tuesday, August 15, when two men in their 20s were injured. As of 5.30pm today, he was still in police custody.

Helicopters circled various parts of the city in the early hours of this morning and armed officers and police dogs were deployed to a number of locations.

Police also chased a suspect on foot in the BD2 area.

A stolen Audi A5 was abandoned and recovered in Harrogate Road, Bradford, but police were not able to say whether this was part of the investigation. The driver is believed to have made off.

Meanwhile, four men have also been arrested as investigations continue into a shooting at The Sycamores pub, in Norman Lane, Idle, shortly after midnight on Saturday.

A police spokesman said a car had made off from the scene which was stopped by officers.

Two of the men arrested in connection with the pub incident were still in custody as of 5.30pm today and the other two have been released pending further inquiries.

Witnesses reported a group of men had entered the pub and one had fired a weapon into the ceiling before the suspects left the scene.

Officers attended and cleared the pub and confirmed damage consistent with a shotgun being fired.

The scene was cordoned off and has undergone forensic examination throughout the day.

Detectives from Bradford District CID are conducting extensive inquiries into the incident and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the circumstances or who has any information that could assist the investigation.

Police have said this incident is not being linked to the discharge in Heaton Road, in Manningham, on Tuesday in which two men were injured.

No descriptions of the suspects have yet been released.

Anyone with information about the incident at The Sycamores pub is asked to contact Bradford District CID via 101 quoting log number 18 of August 19.
