'Large area closed' as police probe Melton incident

Police were called to a residential property in the Melton Old Road area of Melton at around 1700hrs this evening following reports of a disturbance possibly involving a firearm.

On arrival, officers found one man at the address who had suffered serious injuries. He was treated at the scene by Paramedics but sadly pronounced deceased.

A second man was also found at the address having been injured however his injuries are not life threatening.

Following initial inquiries, three men were arrested in connection with the incident.

A large area around the scene at Melton Old Road remains closed at this time as officers conduct inquiries in order to establish the circumstances which lead to the incident.

I would advise the public to avoid the area at this time as there may be some disruption while the incident is cleared.
