Police are still looking for the motorbike
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after a girl, 7, was killed in a hit-and-run.
The young girl was struck by a motorcycle in Turnstone Road, Bloxwich, Walsall, on Thursday.
West Midlands Police say they are still trying to find the motorbike, which is a black and blue road bike.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes said: ‘This is an absolutely tragic event which has resulted in the death of an innocent child.
‘We have still to recover the motorbike involved and I know someone out there in the local community knows where the bike is.
‘I now need that community to come together and work with me.
‘This is not about protecting people, this is about doing the right thing.
‘As such I would urge anyone with any information, however large or small, to make contact with us.
‘This is a heart-breaking situation that no family should ever go through and my thoughts are with the family of this young girl.’
