A MAN wanted in connection with a shooting in Peterborough has links with Wisbech, police revealed today.

They are appealing to the public to help trace Fred Smith (known as Fred Smith junior), a 23 year-old traveller.

He is wanted for questioning following an incident at Oxney Road travellers’ site in Peterborough last month in which three men were shot.

Detective Inspector Dave Grierson said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who has information about Fred’s whereabouts or believes they may have seen him since September 17.

“I would also make a direct plea to Fred - please hand yourself in to officers it is important we speak to you.”
