| Reason for Authority (Brief Summary for Publication) |
| POWERS | We’ve extended our Section 60 powers across #Walsall today and throughout the evening. The powers have been extended until 1.30am tomorrow (Mon) morning. The extra powers allow us to search people without the need to have reasonable grounds. Our aim is to keep everyone safe. The Section 60 is in place for the whole of the Walsall borough. It follows a serious incident after a man was shot on Charles Foster Street, Darlaston, shortly after 9am yesterday (Fri). A man in his 40’s was taken to hospital with gunshot injuries and is currently in a stable condition. We are in the early stages of our investigation and would appeal for witnesses or people with information, especially mobile or dashcam footage, to please contact us via Live Chat on our website or by calling 101, quoting log number 944 of 11 October. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. |
