Huntly Police investigating a serious assault in May, have arrested and charged two people.
The assault occurred on Main Street, around 1.30am on Sunday 17 May. The victim received moderate injuries and was understandably very shaken by the incident.
Police executed search warrants this week at two addresses in the Huntly area and two men have subsequently been arrested in relation to the incident.
Detective Sergeant Rahul Badri, Huntly CIB, says these arrests are an excellent outcome for this investigation.
“During the searches, Police located most of the clothing that was allegedly worn by the two people involved in the assault, as well as the victim’s mobile phone that was allegedly stolen immediately following the assault.
“I am pleased that we are able to hold these alleged offenders to account, and I hope this brings some closure to the victim and their loved ones.”
A 26-year-old man appeared in Huntly District Court on 2 July and is due to reappear on 24 September, facing charges of assault with intent to injure, and theft from a person.
A 24-year-old man is due in Huntly District Court on 7 July, also charged with assault with intent to injure, and theft from a person, and drug related charges.
“I would like commend the efforts of all staff involved in this investigation, as well as thank those who responded to our earlier appeal for information,” says Detective Sergeant Badri.
