Three more people have been arrested in an attempted murder investigation after a man was hit by a car near Southampton.

The 38-year-old remains in a serious condition in hospital after the incident in Sarisbury Green in the early hours of Thursday.

Two 15-year-old boys from Fareham and Hedge End, and a 24-year-old man from Fareham, are being held on suspicion of attempted murder.

Two 18-year-old men, from Fareham and Hamble, who were arrested on Monday have been released without charge.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary was called shortly after 03:00 BST on 29 May following a collision in Montefiore Drive involving a pedestrian and dark coloured car, now believed to be an Audi, that did not stop at the scene.

Police said the injured man was in a stable condition in hospital, where he continues to be treated for serious, potentially life-changing, injuries.

The force said detectives arrested two 15-year-old boys overnight on suspicion of attempted murder, causing injury through dangerous driving, vehicle interference, theft from a shop, and failing to stop following a collision.

A 24-year-old man, from Fareham, was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, causing injury through dangerous driving, and failing to stop following a collision.

All three remain in custody.

Officers are carrying out house-to-house enquiries and want to hear from anyone with doorbell or dashcam footage, or who may have seen the car or two people acting suspiciously.

They are also appealing to anyone who believes they have been a victim of vehicle crime in the area to get in touch.
