A man suffered serious injuries on Sunday (21 April)
Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a serious assault that took place in Leatherhead.
A man suffered serious injuries during the attack on Cleeve Road at around 11.30pm on Sunday (21 April).
Surrey Police say an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and enquiries are ongoing to identify and locate the other two persons involved.
Officers believe the parties involved were known to each other and they do not anticipate a wider risk to the public at this time.
Inspector James Green, Mole Valley Borough Commander, said, “The Leatherhead community is served by a variety of police officers from different teams within Surrey Police. This includes dedicated local resources such as our Safer Neighbourhoods Team and Neighbourhood Policing Team, as well as central resources such as Roads Policing, Investigations, Casualty Reduction Officers, and Armed Response units.
“The Safer Neighbourhood Team for Mole Valley will regularly conduct patrols of the borough and respond to local issues that require a problem-solving approach, such as antisocial behaviour.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team provide a 24-hour response to emergency calls for service that pose an immediate risk to a person or property.
“Visible policing is only a small part of the service that Surrey Police provide, and even when you cannot see us out and about on the beat, our officers are working hard behind the scenes to make Mole Valley a safe place for our residents to live and work.”
