Two men have been arrested in connection with an incident in Tilney All Saints earlier this week (Tuesday 16 August).
Officers were called to Glebe Estate at approximately 8pm following reports that a vehicle had collided with a property.
A further call was received shortly after, reporting an altercation involving a number of people, two of whom were believed to have been in possession of axes. A vehicle caught fire as a result of the incident.
Emergency services attended the scene and three people, one man and two women, were taken to the hospital for treatment. The two women were later discharged, and the man remains in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Two men, one aged in his 20s and the other aged in his 40s were arrested yesterday (18 August 2022) in connection with the incident. They were taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning, where they remain.
Detective Inspector Duncan Woodhams said: “Whilst we have made two arrests, enquiries are ongoing to trace further suspects.
“We understand that incidents of this nature are concerning to the local community, however initial enquiries have established that those involved are known to one another and we are treating this as an isolated incident, with no threat to the wider public.
“As a response, officers will be conducting reassurance patrols in the local area and we would always encourage residents who may have any concerns, to speak with them.”
A police cordon remains in place at the location, whilst enquiries continue.
Anyone who has any information and has not yet spoken with police is encouraged to contact Swaffham CID on 101 quoting incident 475 of 16 August 2022.
