The police helicopter was deployed in the early hours of Sunday morning following reports of an assault in Exeter.

Air crew, who were deployed on another call, directed ground officers to arrest three people wanted in connection with a 'slashing' incident.

The suspects, described as 'youths', were detained at around 4.10am, and are assisting officers with their enquiries.

It was announced last week that the Force helicopter will join the National Police Air Service next year as part of cost-saving measures.

Scans have shown that Exeter City midfielder Scot Bennett didn’t suffer a serious injury against Bristol Rovers and will only be on the sidelines for a few weeks.

The worst was feared when the 21-year-old was stretchered off against Mark McGhee’s men six days ago but a relieved Paul Tisdale filled us in on the results of the scans.

“The scans proved to be positive,” the City boss said. “He hasn’t got any serious injury, just bad bruising and it will be sore for a number of weeks.

“Now it’s just a case of his pain threshold and what that allows him to do. So that is...

Exeter Chiefs' head coach Rob Baxter says his team will have to produce a "big performance" if they are to overcome defending champions Harlequins in their latest Aviva Premiership fixture tomorrow (3pm).

Undone 30-8 at Leicester Tigers a week ago, Baxter is hoping for an immediate riposte from his side as they prepare to welcome Conor O'Shea's men to Sandy Park for the third time in the top flight.

Like the Chiefs, Harlequins also came unstuck last time out, losing their unbeaten tag...

Exeter police are urging anyone who recognises the items to come forward and contact them.

PC Suzanne Vranch, of Exeter CID, said: “We are appealing for...

Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Junior Poluleuligaga has today agreed to join Championship outfit Cornish Pirates on a short-term loan deal.

With the Pirates having been dealt an untimely blow with captain Gavin Cattle sustaining an injury in last Friday's 18-18 draw at Doncaster Knights, the Cornish club have moved swiftly to acquire the services of the talented 31-year-old Samoan international.

The Auckland-born number nine, who is now into his third season at Sandy Park, will head to the Duchy with at least a few familiar faces in tow as the Pirates have already dual-...

A goal in each half from Jamie Cureton helped City get back to winning ways at Underhill last night.

The 37-year-old composed himself before pulling the trigger on 37 minutes to fire the Grecians into the lead before nodding home Tommy Doherty’s perfect cross to finish off a great move. City, with the patched-up midfield duo Doherty and Matt Oakley excelling, controlled large parts of the second half but had to fight for the victory after Jake Hyde nodded home but held on for a very satisfying three points. City boss Paul Tisdale pulled a selection surprise by handing a first City...
