A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with a hit-and-run in Measham.

Police were called to High Street in the village at 9.50pm on Saturday (July 4) following a report of a 'non-stop collision'.

Two pedestrians, both men, were injured in the crash, and were taken to hospital with non-serious injuries.

They have both since been discharged.

The driver of a white pick-up van left the scene before emergency services arrived.

The van was later recovered in Heather.

The High Street was closed for much of Sunday (July 5) to allow for an investigation of the scene. It was reopened by the evening evening.

A 30-year-old Coalville man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He has since been released on police bail.

Detective constable Mike Archer said: "We are continuing to appeal to anyone who was in the area of High Street at around 9.50pm and saw the pedestrians before the collision, the vehicle involved or the incident itself.

"If you have information and haven't yet spoken to officers please get in touch.

"Equally, if anyone captured what happened on their mobile phones, dashcam or CCTV we want to hear from you.

"Any information you have could assist with our investigation."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the force on 101.
