Investigation into large-scale disturbance in Hamilton

Detectives are continuing enquiries following a large-scale disturbance in Hamilton.  

Around 9pm on Wednesday, 30 November, 2022, police received a report of between 12-18 people involved in a disturbance in Tinto View, Hamilton.

Enquiries carried out so far have revealed that several men were grouped together in Tinto View when a silver-coloured car drove up and several other men got out. A disturbance broke out and a 42-year-old man was injured. He was taken to Wishaw Hospital but has since been released. 

Officers have been checking CCTV footage and three vehicles were seen speeding off after the incident. They are a silver-coloured hatchback or estate car, a white transit van and a further Hatchback vehicle. The three cars appeared to be travelling in convoy and all were driving at speed along Silverton Hill Avenue.  It's unclear if all the occupants in the vehicles were involved in the violent altercation. 

Officers are appealing for anyone who was in the area to get in touch. 

Detective Constable Cameron Owen said: "I would ask any motorists, particularly those with dash cams, who were in the area around 9pm to pass on any images captured as the footage could assist our investigation. We are continuing to check other relevant CCTV footage for additional information of those involved. Just because they were not arrested on the night does not mean they have got away with it. If anyone has any information, no matter how insignificant it seems, please pass it on. 

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3251 of 30 November, 2022. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
