Detectives appeal for information following public order incident in Odiham

We are appealing for information and dashcam footage following a public order incident in Odiham.

Police were called at around 3.15pm on Sunday 8 October to reports of a disturbance involving two groups of people at a site off the A287 Farnham Road, near the Chalky Lane junction.

A man sustained an injury to his head from what we believe to be a strike with a crowbar.

A man at the scene was also reportedly seen with a gun.

We believe all the parties involved are known to each other.

An investigation into the circumstances has been launched and two people have been arrested.

A 40-year-old man from Odiham has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent, theft of motor vehicle, aggravated vehicle taking and affray.

A 25-year-old man from Odiham has been arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle, grievous bodily harm with intent and affray.

Both men are currently in police custody while we make further enquiries. Officers remain at the scene today (Monday 9 October).

We are now appealing for anyone who has any information about what happened to contact us.

In particular, we want to hear from motorists who were driving on the A287 Farnham Road near Odiham at about this time. You may hold footage that could be important to our investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact us on 101, quoting Op Timely or the reference number 44230411773, or you can submit information by going to our website: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
