Two teenagers have been charged following an incident at The Hyde in Stevenage on the evening of Tuesday 28 June.

Hughie Cook aged 18 from Barnwell and a 17 year old boy from Stevenage were arrested on Friday (1 July) on suspicion of array following the incident which involved a large group of people, some carrying weapons. They were subsequently charged with affray and being in possession of bladed article in a public place.

Both appeared at St Albans Remand Court on Monday 4 July where they pleaded guilty. Cook was given a 12 month suspended sentence for two years and the 17 year old was released on court bail and will be sentenced in August.

Detective Inspector Nic Rega said: "This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable, and we have responded quickly to trace those responsible.

"A number of arrests have now been made and our investigation is continuing to trace others who we suspect were involved."

If you have any information that you believe is relevant to our investigation, please call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference 41/51743/22 .
