Two more teenagers have been arrested in connection with an alleged break-in at a Nottingham flat after a machete was seized. Officers were called to Bracebridge Drive in Bilborough at around 9.25pm on Sunday, January 12, after a group of youths were seen trying to flee from the address.
Three suspects aged 15, 15 and 16 were detained initially following a search of the area, while a machete was also found inside a bag within the flat. Officers have now arrested two further suspects, aged 15 and 16.
All five boys have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. One of the 15-year-olds arrested initially has also been detained on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug after cannabis was found during searches.
Detective Chief Inspector Claire Gould of Nottinghamshire Police said: “Our investigation into this incident has now led to the arrest of five suspects. We always respond robustly to any report of this nature and detectives have been working hard to understand exactly what happened.
“We’d continue to urge anyone with additional information or relevant footage of the incident to come forward without delay.”
