Appeal for witnesses after men attack house in Cheltenham

Police are appealing for witnesses after a group of men attacked a house in Cheltenham last night, Friday 29 December.

Officers were called to a report that three men had smashed the windows and door of an address in Buttermere Close, Cheltenham, at around 8.15pm.

They then left the area and were seen getting into a black car before driving off. Nobody was injured in the attack.

The men, who were all dressed in black and had their faces covered with balaclavas, were carrying what appeared to be a baseball bat, a hammer and a bladed weapon.

Two people, a 17-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man, were later arrested on suspicion of affray. They remain in police custody while enquiries continue.

Officers would like to speak to anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage which they believe to be relevant. They would also like to speak to anybody who may have information and who has not already talked to police.
