A woman has been stabbed during a burglary in Swindon – as police arrest two men.

Police were called to an aggravated burglary in Verwood Close, Park North, yesterday afternoon (29 November).

At around 1.05pm, two men entered a property and attacked victim, a woman in her 30s, with a knife – inflicting stab wounds. She remains in hospital for treatment at this time.

They have then searched the house, stealing personal items, before fleeing.
