Three more arrests have been made by Lincolnshire Police today following a suspected stabbing in Thames Road, Grantham, early yesterday.

The arrests follow police operations around the area of McDonald's on Bridge End Road, Grantham, this afternoon.

In a statement issued tonight, Lincolnshire Police said: "Following a robust policing effort involving specialist armed response officers, investigators, search teams, and response officers over the past 36 hours, we have arrested three more people in connection with the serious assault in Thames Road in Grantham.

"A 31-year-old woman, a 40-year-old woman, and a 27-year-old man remain in police custody, and a fourth suspect arrested yesterday (15th June) has been released on police bail.

"The investigation included an increase in specialist police officers in the Bridge End Road area of the town today in our search for our suspect, and we would like to reassure the public that we are not looking for anyone else in connection to this incident. Enquiries are ongoing."

The statement added: "We would like to thank the public for their assistance. If anyone has any further information, please contact us via 101 quoting incident 41 of 15th June."

Yesterday, as reported by Nub News , police appealed for witnesses following a 'serious assault' in Thames Road.

Initially, they were called to the address at 2.30am following reports of a disturbance, and then later officers were recalled to the same address where a man in his 30s had sustained a serious injury consistent with a knife wound.

He was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries, which are not life threatening.

Police said yesterday: "Due to the nature of the initial call police deployed firearms officers and dog units in armed response vehicles (ARVs), where we conducted a thorough search of the property and immediate surrounding area. No weapon was located."

A 32-year-old man was arrested and placed in custody as police continued what they said was "an early stage of this serious investigation."

An appeal for information was made, with people again asked to contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 quoting incident 41 of 15th June.
