Two Witham men who were being sought in connection with two assaults in the town have made contact with the police. 

A man in his 20s suffered serious injuries in the incident at Collingwood Road on March 13.

A woman, also in her 20s, received minor injuries. Both were treated in hospital.

Officers at Braintree CID sent out an appeal this week to find two Witham men after extensive enquiries were carried out and the men could not be traced.

Anyone with information should contact DS Mike Pannell at Braintree CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

A 20-year-old man from Witham has been charged with GBH with intent and two counts of assault in connection with the incident. He is currently remanded in court custody.
