Police are still hunting for the driver of a white Skoda after a child was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in Thetford.

The child remains in a serious but stable condition in Addenbrooke's Hospital after being hit by the white Skoda Fabia in Brandon Road just before 7pm on Monday.

A man in his 20s was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

No further action will be taken against him and he has been eliminated from all enquiries. 

Roads and Armed Policing Sgt Peter Howlett said: “We are still working through a number of enquiries to locate the outstanding driver.

“It is important that anyone with any information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, gets in touch.”

At the time of the collision, the white Skoda Fabia with a black roof was reportedly travelling towards the crossroads with the Chase pub, having come from the direction of the A11 and Canterbury Way.

People in the area have been asked to check their dashcam footage for a white car that was driving erratically or had visible damage.

Businesses and homes in Bury Road and London Road are also asked to review their CCTV and Ring doorbell footage.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police by calling 101 or emailing nicholas.harris@norfolk.police.uk, quoting reference NC-05082024-434.
