Three men have been arrested after a report of an assault in a town-centre alleyway in Spalding.

Police were called to the Chapel Lane alleyway, off New Street, shortly before 6.40pm. The incident was reported as taking place on the evening before the source article was published on August 27, 2026. The article describes that evening as Wednesday, August 27, although that relative timing and weekday do not align clearly enough to establish a definitive calendar date for the alleged assault.

Three arrests after police call

The three arrested men are aged 36, 18 and 19. They were arrested on suspicion of GBH, an abbreviation for grievous bodily harm, and were still in custody when the report was published.

“Three men have been arrested aged 36, 18 and 19 on suspicion of GBH they remain in custody at this time. Our investigation is ongoing.”

The statement was attributed to a police spokesman. It confirms the arrests and the suspected offence, but does not provide an account of what allegedly happened in the alleyway.

Investigation remains ongoing

The report does not say whether anyone was injured, identify a victim or describe the circumstances surrounding the reported assault. It also does not state whether the three men were subsequently charged, released or kept in custody beyond the position given at the time of publication.

An arrest on suspicion is not a finding that an offence has been committed, and no charge or court outcome is reported in the supplied material. The only next step stated by police is that the investigation was continuing.

The location given in the report is the Chapel Lane alleyway off New Street, in Spalding town centre. No further police appeal, request for witnesses or additional operational details was included.
