FIVE Bradford men have appeared in court accused of aggravated burglary following an incident in Skegness at the weekend.

They were arrested following an incident on Saturday afternoon where police were called to an address on South Parade at the Lincolnshire resort.

They found two men, aged 23 and 18, who were injured with one having sustained serious injuries, with medics describing his condition as critical but stable. The second man was discharged from hospital after treatment.

Less than an hour after officers were called to South Parade, police tried to stop a Ford Focus car on the A16 at Ulceby Cross but were unable to do so and it was caused to stop on the same road, near Burwell.

Five men were then arrested and were charged with aggravated burglary.

They have now appeared before magistrates in Lincoln and it is understood the case will be heard at Crown Court.

Those facing prosecution are Thomas Barraclough, 20, of Bradford Lane, Laisterdyke, Zakir Hussain, 30, of Wheatlands Crescent, Heaton, Matthew James, 26, of Newark Street, Bowling, Jamil Sheikh, 24, of Westlands Drive, Allerton and Nadeem Sheikh, 29, of Roundhill Place, Bradford city centre.
