In connection with a collision in Hastings that left a pair of teenage boys with what police called "significant injuries", two men have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm.

The incident happened in Fredericks Road at 2.45pm on Thursday, July 20.

Two teenage boys aged 13 and 14 were taken to hospital, but police said on Sunday they were no longer in a life-threatening condition.

Police said that, following the incident, Dillon Beeching, 23, unemployed of Grand Parade, Eastbourne, and Liam Hide, 21, a retail sales assistant of Ashford Road, Hastings, were arrested and charged with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm.

Beeching was also charged with driving without valid insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.

They appeared before Hastings Magistrates’ Court on Saturday (July 22), and were remanded in custody to appear before Lewes Crown Court on August 18.

Officers are also continuing their appeal for witnesses or anyone with relevant footage to come forward, quoting Operation Glastonbury.

They have also asked the public not to speculate about the incident on social media, as this would risk prejudicing the ongoing case.
