FOUR people have been arrested after two men were threatened by a gang armed with "a range" of offensive weapons.
Police are appealing for witnesses following a public order incident on May 2 at around 8pm in Eastleigh.
Two men, walking in the Desborough Road / Cranbury Road area of Eastleigh, were approached by a number of people known to them.
An "altercation" broke out with the two victims being threatened by the group, who police believe had a range of offensive weapons in their possession.
The group then fled the area.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug, a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon, dangerous driving and failing to stop for police, a 20-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug and possession of an offensive weapon, and a 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug and possession of an offensive weapon.
All four have since been released under further investigation.
A spokesperson from Hampshire Police said: "Were you in the area at the time? Did you see what happened? Perhaps you have CCTV or dash-cam footage?
"Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting 44210168095.
"Alternatively you can contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
