We are appealing to the public for information following an incident that took place in Southampton yesterday afternoon (Saturday 2 April).
At 1.26pm it was reported to us that three males had been seen riding two motorbikes on International Way and that they appeared to be holding machetes.
It was reported that the two bikes were driving on the grassy area between International Way and Kingsclere Avenue.
The bikes remained in the area for a short time before driving along Burghclere Road and then on towards Chamberlayne Leisure Centre on Weston Lane.
We are not aware of anyone being injured or threatened by the three males.
Officers attended the scene and carried out an extensive area search, however the people involved have not yet been located.
We have been conducting enquiries into the circumstances of this incident and now have these images to release to the public. We appreciate they are not of the best quality, however we’re hoping they may jog the memory of anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen anything.
Two of the males were riding on a large, darkly coloured moped and the third was alone on a small framed black sports type motorbike.
We have the following descriptions of the three males:
We would like to hear from anyone who recognises these descriptions or the people pictured.
Perhaps you were in the area at the time and saw these bikes or maybe you were driving through the area and may have Dash cam footage that could assist our investigation?
