Wiltshire’s drone unit has been assisting police in Bristol with a murder investigation today.

Police were called to a aggravated burglary in progress at an address in Redcliff at around 1am this morning, but officers discovered the body of a man who had died at the scene.

Two other men suffered life-threatening injuries during the incident.

One of the team has been assisting @ASPolice at a major incident in Redcliff in Bristol for several hours today. Always a pleasure to help our neighbours.

Two men from London, aged 25 and 37, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in police custody.

Senior Investigating Officer Andrew Mott said: “We deployed a significant number of resources to this incident and as a result, we’ve apprehended two men who ran away from the scene when we arrived.

“This is now a murder inquiry and the public will see a significantly increased police presence in the area with detectives and staff examining the scene and neighbourhood officers conducting extra reassurance patrols.

“Early indications are that this appears to be an isolated incident but I’d urge anyone with concerns to speak to one of the neighbourhood officers.”
