Police have arrested a 27 year-old woman in relation to the death of Sam Riddall, who died after being hit by a car in Westbury on Trym last week.

The arrest was made just after lunchtime today in Pensford after a tip-off from a member of the public.

Hannah Saaf, the 27 year-old owner of the car involved in the crash that killed Sam, has not been seen since the incident, and has been the subject of a massive police hunt in Bristol and the surrounding area.

Police have refused to confirm whether the woman arrested is Saaf, a mother of twins, and a former Millfield School pupil.

A short statement from the Police said: "Officers investigating this incident would like to thank the media and the public for their help with this case."
