Four people have been arrested following separate but related incidents at Camp Bay on Sunday afternoon.

A statement from the RGP follows below:

Four persons have been arrested following separate but related incidents at Camp  Bay earlier this afternoon. 

In the first incident, Response Team officers responded to a report of drug  consumption in the area of Camp Bay at about 1200hrs today. Although no drugs were  detected at the time, a search of a vehicle parked in the area and belonging to one of  the persons subject of the report, led to a commercial-type personal defence pepper  spray canister being found and seized. As a result, a 48-year-old Spanish national was  arrested on suspicion of being in Possession of a Prohibited Weapon. 

A short while later, Response Team officers responded to a report of several  individuals engaging in anti-social behaviour, including drugs and alcohol  consumption, which had escalated into a violent altercation involving several  individuals. 

Upon arrival at Camp Bay, officers arrested a 39-year-old Spanish male, and 2  Spanish females aged 46 and 37, all on suspicion of Affray and Assault occasioning  Actual Bodily Harm. As a result of the incident, a female was conveyed to hospital to  be treated for a suspected dislocated knee. 

The investigation remains ongoing, and the RGP are appealing for witnesses who  were in the area of Camp Bay earlier today and have yet not spoken to Police. Anyone who witnessed this incident and/or may be in possession of any information  that might assist the RGP investigation, is requested to contact the RGP Control Room  on Tel: (+350) 20072500 or www.police.gi/report-online and provide their contact  details for the attention of RGP Response Team 1.
