Five more men, all from Neston, have now been arrested in relation to an incident last weekend.
The men - two 24-year-olds and an 18-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 23-year-old - have been arrested on suspicion of affray. They have all been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
The incident took place around 10pm on Saturday 19th May in Neston town centre and involved a group of males fighting.
The incident started outside the Greenland Fisheries and moved down Parkgate Road.
Earlier this week two men were charged in connection with the affray: David Walker, 51, of Spenser Road, Neston, has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. Jake Walker, 23, of Mayfield Gardens, Neston, has been charged with affray and possession of a bladed article.
They appeared at Chester Magistrates' Court on 22 May where they were remanded in custody. The pair are next due to appear at Chester Crown Court on 16 June 2018.
Sgt Lisa Wilson said: "Were you in Parkgate Road, Neston around 10pm on Saturday 19th May? Ellesmere Port Detectives are appealing for witnesses following reports of a fight where weapons were used. If you can help please contact 101 and quote IML 68951."

People really need to get things in perspective. You say 'Sad state of affairs going round the place with guns and knives...' As far as I can see in the article above it's one gun, one knife, two idiots. Compared with the numerous stabbings, shootings and other incidents of note in London recently, Neston is hardly a hotbed of criminal activity.
Sadly there are idiots in every area.
What is the number at which you would be concerned? Two guns, two knives, four idiots, six, eight?
It is often said perception is reality and my perception is we have lost a great deal of policing over the last year or two, and not just the increasingly poor response service but the impression is we have lost the local community intelligence led service that often, or so it appeared, nipped problems before they got this serious.
I am probably wrong, I am often enough, but as stated this is my perception and hence my reality.
Neston is Utopia for me. Even with the isolated incidents of madness.
Compared to the places I have lived in the past and work in on a regular basis, its a joy living in CH64.
Don't even use banks anymore and they seem to make decent pizza restaurants
You can leave this site and the horror of Neston behind you.
I too have lived in many places around the UK but have never felt more welcome than here. A great community, which weathers the problems all other towns share, with great equanimity.
