Police thank public for help in manhunt

POLICE have thanked the public who assisted them during a four-hour manhunt after a violent incident in East Devon.

The lengthy police investigation involving around 10 officers was sparked after five people descended on a disused farm near Honiton.

One man who was living at the farm sustained a broken jaw in the ensuing violence. Two men were threatened with a knife and a woman was assaulted.

Tyres of vehicles belonging to the occupants at the farm were slashed and windows were smashed. The incident occurred early afternoon on Tuesday, September 4, at Membury.
