Violent incident in Milford Haven leads to three arrests

THREE people, including a 16-year-old youth, were arrested in Milford Haven over the weekend following a violent incident that erupted on the Mount Estate.
The incident, believed to be the result of a long-standing feud between two local families, led to armed police being deployed to the scene.
The violent altercation, which took place around 9:15 pm on Saturday (Aug 31), spilled into the streets, causing alarm among some local residents who described the incident as “loud” and “like a big fight”.
Two individuals were injured in the attack, both requiring hospital treatment. Fortunately, a local taxi driver who became inadvertently involved in the melee was unharmed.
Following the incident, police swiftly moved to make arrests in the Richard John Road area of the town. A 32-year-old man, a 32-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old youth were taken into custody on suspicion of assault. The suspects have since been released on conditional bail as police continue their enquiries.
Local residents reported seeing officers conducting house-to-house enquiries in the aftermath of the incident, which has left the community shaken. However, police have confirmed that they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the case.
A police spokesperson provided the following statement: “Police are investigating an allegation of assault which occurred on the Mount Estate, Milford Haven at about 9.15 pm, Saturday, 31st August 2024. Two people were injured in the incident. A 32-year-old male, a 32-year-old female, and a 16-year-old youth were arrested on suspicion of assault. They have been released on conditional bail pending further police enquiries. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.”
