We are appealing for help from residents in the Westway and Manham Hill areas of Eastfield after an incident last night.
Shortly after 11pm last night, Tuesday 2 July 2024, our officers were called to an address on Westway. It was reported to us that a man had a machete. As officers attended, a number of men ran from the address. One man was stopped by officers nearby and arrested.
A second man was seen to attend another address in Eastfield. We secured the property, placed a cordon for the safety of the community, and engaged with the resident of the address through a police negotiator. Following a stand-off, we identified the second man and arrested him.
A machete has been recovered following searches in the area.
There was a large police presence in Eastfield in relation to this incident, to allow us to keep our residents safe and to locate the offenders.
We are making enquiries to locate and arrest a third man involved in the incident.
Can you help our investigation? Did you help officers, or have you seen something which will assist our enquiries?
We are particularly appealing for CCTV footage, doorbell camera, dash, or cycle cam footage in the area of Manham Hill and Westway. Did you hear or see anything which can help? Has anyone been in your yard or garden overnight?
If you can help in any way, please contact the investigating officer via email: [email protected]
Or you can call 101 using option 2 to call ext. 51143.
You can give information anonymously vis Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Please quote reference number 12240117488.
We want to reassure our residents that although you may continue to see a higher police presence on the estate, this is due to the investigation which is now ongoing.
