One man was  arrested on Sunday, and two others, including a 15-year-old local boy and a man from London, have also now been arrested.

“We would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Vanguard Road at that time, immediately before, or immediately afterwards, to contact us without delay, as they may have seen or heard something that could be important to our enquiries,” said a spokesperson.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hampshire Major Investigation Team by phoning 101, quoting Operation Saddlewood, or  anonymously by phoning Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
