Police have urged the public to avoid the area



Arrests have been made after a triple stabbing in Nuneaton.

Warwickshire Police have confirmed three people have been hospitalised with stab wounds following "disorder'" at a number of locations across the town tonight (July 15).

According to a statement, the injuries suffered by all three are not believed to be life-threatening at this time.

It goes on to say that all three are also under arrest.

Police also say they believe those involved were known to each other and wider members of the public were not targeted.

However, investigations are ongoing into the incident which was first reported at 7.04pm, as police believe other people may have been involved.

Mount Street, close to the flats on Coronation Court, was blocked by the police and the entrance to nearby Pool Bank Street was also cordoned off by police tape.

Ambulances were also spotted near to the council-run flats earlier this evening (July 15).

The police statement added: "There is a large police presence in the area and an investigation is under way to identify and detain all those involved.

"Please avoid the area while police continue to manage the situation."

What happened to arrested teens after triple stabbing in Nuneaton?

Police have revealed that the investigation in to violent scenes that spread across Nuneaton town centre and left three people with stab wounds has been shelved due to a "lack of evidence".

The violence erupted almost a year ago to the day and saw a total of six people - including three injured teenagers - arrested as Warwickshire Police tried to piece together what had happened.

The first call on the evening of July 15, 2019, came from Queens Road at 7.02pm and officers were called soon after to scenes in Mount Street, Coton Road and Pool Bank Recreation Ground.

Three teenagers - a 16-year-old from Nottingham, a 17-year-old from Nuneaton and a 19-year-old, also from Nuneaton - all suffered stab wounds.

All three were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and then taken to hospital from where they were later released.

Police went on to arrest a 15-year-old from Cannock and another 16-year-old, from Nuneaton, also on suspicion of violent disorder, and a few days after a sixth boy - a 15-year-old boy from Nuneaton - became the final person arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.

All six were eventually released on bail while enquiries continued.

CoventryLive contacted Warwickshire Police for an update as no news had been released since and the force has now revealed that "the investigation was filed due to lack of evidence".

No charges were ever brought against those arrested. however detectives said they would consider reopening the case "if new evidence came to light".

In short: "nothing"!
