Three arrests after man died in hit-and-run

Three men have been arrested following the death of a man in a hit-and-run crash in Birmingham.

Wynford "Willie" Griffiths, 71, died after he was hit by a car on Audley Road, Stechford, on 9 February.

The men, aged 29, 31 and 32, were arrested at three addresses in Birmingham on Thursday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

One of the men is also being questioned on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.

West Midlands Police said Mr Griffiths' family has been informed of the arrests, adding: "Our thoughts remain with them at this tragic time."

His family previously paid tribute to a "beautiful brother, uncle and great uncle".

In a statement released by West Midlands Police in February, the family said their world had been "turned upside down".

The force is urging anyone with information, who has not yet spoken to them, to contact them via 101 quoting log number 3687 of 9 February.
