Three teenagers have been arrested after an altercation at a restaurant in Bexhill on Monday evening, according to police. Officers were called to Devonshire Road at approximately 6.40 pm after receiving a report of a group of youths threatening a boy in the restaurant.

Upon arriving at the scene, the group had dispersed, but several suspects were later discovered on the nearby seafront. The suspects were searched, and a 16-year-old boy from Bexhill was arrested on suspicion of affray, making threats to kill, attempted robbery, possession of cannabis, and being involved in the supply of Class B drugs.
