SOUTH SOMERSET NEWS: Two people arrested over Bruton hit and run death

TWO people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man in his 80s following a hit and run incident in Bruton.

The 84-year-old man died following the incident in Bruton on the evening of Tuesday, October 14, 2014.

A dark coloured Chrysler Grand Voyager left the scene without stopping, which led to a police search to find the car and its owner.

They remain in police custody.

A police spokesman told the Yeovil Press: “The vehicle, a black Chrysler Grand Voyager, remains missing. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the vehicle - registration number DS 02 NH1 - should contact Yeovil CID immediately on the force number 101.

“We would like to take this opportunity of thanking members of the public for information they have provided to us during the five day operation, which helped us track down the vehicle owners.”
