Investigation Underway as Community Left Reeling
“This attack on a teenage boy has, understandably, shocked the community,” said Detective Chief Inspector Eliot Porritt.
“He is in a very serious condition in hospital and our thoughts are with his loved ones who, like us, are willing him to make a full recovery. We are determined to apprehend those responsible for this vicious attack.”
“Although the offence took place quite late in the evening, I believe that there were people in the local area who would have seen or heard what happened. If you saw anything suspicious or heard anything unusual, we want to hear from you. Your call could make the difference.”
