Detectives investigating a violent disorder in Luton on Friday (28 March) have made three more arrests in connection with the incident.

Police were called just after 4:50pm to a report of a disorder in the Marsh Farm area between a large group of men with weapons, with further reports of shots being fired.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested the following day on suspicion of violent disorder.

A 20-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy were arrested on Tuesday (1 April) also on suspicion of violent disorder.

Bedfordshire Police says the three were questioned and have been bailed pending further enquiries.

Detective Inspector Scott Fowler from Bedfordshire Police said: “We understand there are concerns in the local community and we have officers carrying out high visibility patrol the areas to help provide reassurance and to deter further activity.

“We are continuing to follow several lines of enquiry to identify those involved and would urge anyone with information to report it to us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Bedfordshire Police on 101 or report online quoting Operation Taut.
