| Reason for Authority (Brief Summary for Publication) |
| #POWERS | We’ll continue to have Section 60 powers across Walsall until tomorrow morning (Sunday). They were initially introduced earlier this week following armed disorder in Reedswood Lane, Birchills. The powers have been extended until 10am and allow us to stop and search people without the need to have reasonable grounds. As always, our main focus is on keeping everyone safe and we have extra officers in the area to offer reassurance. Our investigation into the incident in Birchills continues and a teenager remains in custody for questioning. If you have information you can contact us via Live Chat on our website, or by calling 101, and quote 20/720593/24. Alternatively, ring independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Tell them what you know, not who you are. |
