Mole Valley Beat (Surrey Police) update posted Wednesday afternoon 24 April 2024:
Following the serious assault in Cleeve Road on 22 April there has been a significant police presence in the Leatherhead area. This is both so we can carry out our investigation and provide public reassurance.
As a result of our enquiries so far, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and both remain in police custody at this time. Enquiries are ongoing to identify and locate the other two persons involved.
We believe the parties involved were known to each other and we do not anticipate a wider risk to the public at this time.
We continue to ask for anyone with information that may assist our investigation to come forward. If you were in the area around Cleeve Road between 11pm and 11.30pm on Sunday 21 April, or have any CCTV, dash cam or helmet cam footage that might have captured all or part of this incident, please get in touch quoting PR/45240044610.
Inspector James Green, Mole Valley Borough Commander, said, “The Leatherhead community is served by a variety of police officers from different teams within Surrey Police. This includes dedicated local resources such as our Safer Neighbourhoods Team and Neighbourhood Policing Team, as well as central resources such as Roads Policing, Investigations, Casualty Reduction Officers, and Armed Response units.
“The Safer Neighbourhood Team for Mole Valley will regularly conduct patrols of the borough and respond to local issues that require a problem-solving approach, such as antisocial behaviour.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team provide a 24-hour response to emergency calls for service that pose an immediate risk to a person or property.
“Visible policing is only a small part of the service that Surrey Police provide, and even when you cannot see us out and about on the beat, our officers are working hard behind the scenes to make Mole Valley a safe place for our residents to live and work.”
