Group of men sought over egg-throwing and assaults in Chippenham ‘rampage’

A group of men are being sought in relation to a ‘rampage’ through Chippenham involving egg-throwing and at least two assaults on innocent members of the public.

Between 6pm and 8.30pm yesterday, police were called to reports of the group of people throwing eggs and stones at cars.

On two occasions, when the driver stopped to confront the group, they were assaulted.

This happened at various locations, including Sheldon Road, Ladyfield Road, Southmead, Hungerdown Lane and Queens Crescent.

Sergeant Rich Marshall, from the Chippenham Area Community Policing Team, said: “This was a series of frightening incidents where people had their cars hit with eggs and stones and then, if they got out of their vehicles to confront the group, they were assaulted.

“Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, but it could have easily been a different story.

“We would urge anyone with information, including anyone who recognises any of these four people pictured, to call us.

“We’d particularly like to hear from anyone who might have private CCTV, doorbell or dash cam footage which could assist our enquiries.”
