There are fears someone may have suffered serious injuries, after weapons and a pool of blood were found in Glenrothes.

A dog walker made the discovery in Foxton Drive at around 10.20am on Boxing Day.

Detective Inspector Kelly McEwan, Public Protection Unit, said:

“Earlier this morning a member of the public out walking their dog came across a pool of blood and a weapon with alcohol containers lying nearby. Given the volume of blood, it is believed a person could have sustained a significant injury or at least required some form of medical attention.

"We are obviously concerned for the welfare of anyone who may be injured and so would be keen to hear from people who have been in and around the area last night or early this morning.

"Initial enquiries have failed to trace any injured people and we are keen to ensure whoever was involved is safe and well and getting medical help if required.

"If you were in the area between 10 pm last night and 10.20 am this morning and think you may be able to help out enquiry, then please call Glenrothes Police Station quoting reference number 1293 of the 26 December 2019. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111."
