A serious incident unfolded in Bath on the evening of Thursday, February 5, resulting in the arrest of three men connected to various offenses including threats to kill, affray, and arson.
At approximately 8:30 pm, Avon and Somerset Police were called to Lambridge Road in response to reports of a public order disturbance. Upon arrival, officers arrested three men, all in their thirties. One was taken into custody on suspicion of making threats to kill, another on suspicion of affray and possession with intent to supply, and a third on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
