 Four teenagers have been arrested following a stabbing in Exeter.

Police were called to Kestor Drive just after 11pm on Sunday 8 October where an 18-year-old man had sustained multiple stab wounds and was taken to hospital with serious injuries which aren't thought to be life threatening.

It was further reported that a group of around five people had been involved and information suggested that people were in possession of knives and bats.

Enquiries were carried out and four males, two aged 15, a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

A 37-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All five remain in police custody.

Detective Inspector Suzie Vranch said: “Officers remain in the area this morning with a scene guard in place and this will be the case for the rest of today and likely into tomorrow too whilst we carry out further enquiries.

“I’d encourage anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the incident or have any information which might assist our enquiries to please get in touch.”

Anyone with information should contact police via 101.
