- A 17-year-old boy
Coburn was additionally charged with being in possession of cannabis following his arrest in Bridgwater. He was also charged with affray, being in possession of a bladed article and two counts of wounding with intent for offences which took place in Manchester last year. Officers have worked with Greater Manchester Police in gaining these charges.
The teenager was also charged with possession of heroin.
They all appeared at Taunton Magistrates' Court - which is sitting at North Somerset Magistrates' Court - last Monday (26 February).
The three adults were remanded into custody, while the teenager was released on court bail.
