Two east London men have been charged in connection with a shooting last month. 

Nineteen-year-old Jay Hunt, of Auriel Avenue, Dagenham and 18-year-old Humberto Frade of Fords Park Road, Canning Town are facing charges alongside three other men. 

Hunt is charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, conspiracy to possess ammunition, handling stolen goods, and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place. 

Frade is also facing charges of conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and conspiracy to possess ammunition. 

It comes after a police investigation into reports of a gun being shot at a vehicle in High Road, North Weald, Essex on February 12.

Six warrants took place on February 29 across the county and into London and led to five arrests. 

Three men from Loughton have also been charged.
