Authorities believe that this incident, involving individuals known to each other, poses no immediate threat to the wider public.
Meanwhile, in London, twelve individuals have been charged in connection to thefts at 13 Apple stores across the city.
These thefts, which spanned two-and-a-half weeks, targeted locations including Battersea Power Station and Regent Street.
The Metropolitan Police reported that the suspects, ranging from 13 to 18 years old, face charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to steal from a shop.
They appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court to face these charges, while further investigations continue.
In Birmingham, police have arrested a 14-year-old suspect in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 12-year-old boy.
The attack occurred near Scribers Lane in Hall Green and tragically resulted in the boy's death later that day.
