A second man has been released following an incident in Wrecclesham that saw armed police swarm around a food store in broad daylight.

Investigations are ongoing into the string of events that led to two men being arrested on Sunday, July 20, in an operation which involved a police helicopter, armed officers and several marked and unmarked vehicles.

A man in his 40s was released early the following day after being arrested on the Abbey View estate for possessing an offensive weapon and causing grievous bodily harm.

A second man in his 30s was arrested amid dramatic scenes outside the Wrecclesham Co-op Food Store with police telling people nearby to stay indoors.

Surrey Police have since reported that the man, who was arrested on suspicion of stealing a motor vehicle and being in possession of an offensive weapon, has since been released from custody with no further action.

A street fight on Church View in Ash was the believed catalyst for the resulting manhunt and arrests on the day, with no charges being made, as yet.

Surrey Police have asked anyone with information that might assist their investigation to get in touch on 101 quoting PR/45250088536 or their website.
