Warwickshire Police has arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder.

The arrest comes after a significant pre-planned operation at Woodside Park, near Ryton on Dunsmore, this morning (22 May).

Five men and a teenage boy were also arrested on suspicion of other offences.

Over 100 officers from across the country, supported by partner agencies, entered and secured the site just after 5.30am.

Chief Superintendent Jon Belcher said: "This was a coordinated, multi-agency operation using specialist national resources.

"This came about because of ongoing concerns raised by our communities, and we want to send a clear message: We will not tolerate criminality. 

"We will work with our partners to use every power and tactic available to pursue and disrupt offenders.

"We will work to protect and support law-abiding residents, both on the site and elsewhere, as we continue to pursue those who are involved in criminal behaviour."
