Three seriously injured after disorder in Lincolnshire village

Three people have been seriously injured after disorder in a Lincolnshire village, police have said. Lincolnshire Police said officers were called shortly before 10.30pm on Friday following reports of several assaults in Holton-le-Clay. The force also said a car was attacked in Pinfold Gardens, while further disorder was reported in nearby streets. The incident is understood to have happened in and around Pinfold Lane, Silver Street, Campions Close and Pinfold Gardens. Police are continuing inquiries to establish exactly what took place and to identify everyone involved. At this stage, only limited details have been released about the circumstances. Police have not said how many people may have been involved, what may have led to the disorder, or whether any arrests have been made. The main confirmed information so far is that officers were called late on Friday night, several assaults were reported, a vehicle was attacked in Pinfold Gardens, and three people suffered serious injuries. No further update has been given on the condition of those injured. Lincolnshire Police said inquiries remain ongoing and officers are continuing to gather information from the area. Residents may notice an increased police presence while the investigation continues. The force has urged members of the public not to speculate about the incident. Officers warned that misinformation shared online could hamper the investigation and affect those directly impacted. Police said people should rely on official updates rather than rumours circulating on social media. So far, there has been no fuller public account of how the disorder unfolded. Officers have not confirmed the sequence of events, and it remains unclear whether the reported assaults and the attack on the car were all part of the same disturbance. However, all of the incidents mentioned have been included within the force's ongoing investigation. Holton-le-Clay is a large village in North East Lincolnshire, and the reported disorder has centred on a number of residential streets. The force has not yet provided any description of those believed to have been involved, nor has it said whether officers are seeking additional suspects. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is likely to be asked to come forward as inquiries progress, although no fresh appeal for witnesses was included in the latest statement. As investigators work to build a clearer picture of events, the focus remains on understanding how the disorder began and whether the incidents reported across the area were connected. The incident reference issued by police is 510 of 11 April. The Lincoln Post has not independently verified the claims made in the police statement. Further updates are expected as Lincolnshire Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the disorder in the village.
