Today a further three arrests have been made. Three men, all aged 19, are currently in custody.

As Nub News reported yesterday, armed police were called to deal with the disturbance, said to involve people with weapons, which started in Wyndham Park and ended in the Greyfriars area.

Chief Inspector Phil Vickers said: "Grantham is a really safe town and we will always take action against the small minority who wish unsettle this by intimidating or threatening people.

"This includes stopping anyone who feels it is acceptable to come into our county to do this and the national lockdown gives us a really good opportunity to tackle crime involving weapons.

"We have already removed over 120 weapons from our streets through our countywide weapons amnesty and at a time when our residents are limiting their journeys to keep others safe, we have more capacity to proactively target those who think it is acceptable to be out and about carrying one.

"You can help us know where to look for weapons by calling us on 101 or if you don't wish to speak with the police, you can contact Crimestoppers and remain completely anonymous."

"Residents in Grantham can expect to see officers dedicated to foot patrols throughout this week. Please speak with them if you have any concerns."

Please always dial 999 in an emergency.
