Detective Supt Gareth Willis, head of major crime at Lancashire Police, said: “This is a fast-moving investigation and while we have now arrested four individuals our dedicated investigation team continue to work tirelessly to identify all those responsible for this cold-blooded assassination.
“We fully believe there are people out there who know what happened to Lenny and why. It is those people we want to speak to, either directly to our investigation team or via independent charity Crimestoppers. I would urge those people to do the right thing and share what they know.
“We will be relentless in pursuing all those responsible for Lenny’s murder, no matter how long it takes. The public should be confident that we will make more arrests as our investigation progresses.”
