Police are urging members of the public to come forward with information following a disorder that unfolded in the Belgrave Street and Queen’s Park area of Swindon on Wednesday evening.
The incident, which occurred at around 8.20pm on 10th July, led to the arrest of two men on suspicion of affray and a woman on suspicion of assisting an offender. The two men were subsequently taken to hospital for treatment to injuries sustained during the disturbance.
Detective Sergeant Emma Kinderman, speaking in the wake of the incident, confirmed that officers are actively gathering information and seeking eyewitness accounts.
“This took place in a fairly open and public area and we know that several people living nearby would have witnessed it,” she said. “We are appealing to anyone who saw what happened to get in touch, particularly if they have dash cam footage from around that time.”
In response to community concerns, Wiltshire Police have confirmed there will be an increased presence in the area as enquiries continue.
“This kind of disorder can be unsettling, especially when it takes place in a residential neighbourhood. We’re taking this extremely seriously and will be maintaining a visible presence locally,” added DS Kinderman.
The police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have relevant CCTV or dash cam footage, to contact them by calling 101 and quoting log 54250088771. Information can also be passed on anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
