Three people have been arrested after police were called to reports of a knife fight near Marlborough.

Polic were called to Ogbourne St George shortly before 3pm this afternoon (25 October) due to a group of people fighting, with the suggestion that knives may have been seen.

Three males, aged 16, 20 and 23, have been arrested on suspicion of affray and are currently in custody at Gablecross Police Station.

At this stage no weapons have been located.

Inspector Louis McCoy said: “We know that people living in the village are likely to have seen the police activity this afternoon and we want to provide reassurance that we responded swiftly to make these arrests.

“We’ve not been made aware of anyone being seriously injured during this disorder, which we believe to have occurred between two groups of people known to each other.

“We have spoken to a number of witnesses already, but if you have any information which could assist our enquiries, then please call Wiltshire Police on 101, quoting log 165.”
