| 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 7am tomorrow (Sat) 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 last Tues (Sep 24) on Wolverhampton Road, close to the Asda Express service station, shortly before 9.30pm. A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries following the incident. We are investigating and would appeal for witnesses or anyone with any information to please contact us. We’re particularly keen to hear from anyone who was passing through the area and may have dashcam footage of what happened. People who can assist us should contact us via Live Chat on our website or by calling 101 quoting crime number log number 5284 of 24/09/24. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. |
