Man arrested following disorder at Lacock Hunt

Officers investigating a disorder at the Avon Vale Hunt in Lacock earlier this week are progressing with enquiries.

The hunt took place in the village during the morning of December 27.

Following the incident, video footage of disorder was posted on social media and extensive enquiries to identify those involved have been ongoing.

Today, a man in his 30s from Westbury was arrested on suspicion of affray and taken to Melksham custody for questioning. He has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

We have received a number of calls from members of the public with information in relation to the incident. We’d urge anyone who was present who may have information which could help our enquiries to get in touch, as well as anyone who may have their own footage of the incident. Please call 101 and quote log number 96 of December 27.
