Knives recovered following disturbance in Weymouth

At approximately 2.30 on 23rd August, Dorset Police were called to reports of a disturbance, on The Esplanade, between a group of youths.

It was reported that two males were allegedly seen in possession of knives during the altercation.

Police attended and quickly located two young males, matching the description of those believed to be involved. Both males were detained for a search, which resulted in two knives being recovered which have been seized by police.

Two 12 year-old local males are assisting officers with their enquires. It’s understood that the parents of those involved have been informed and are fully supportive of police action.

The Neighbourhood Team be carrying out follow up visits to speak to others who are identified as being involved.

Officers have said, on the Weymouth & Portland Police Facebook page, that ‘this kind of behaviour and the possession of weapons will not be tolerated’.
