Inspector Jenkins, said: “I authorised this Section 60 which allows officers, greater powers to Stop and Search and provide reassurance to the community.

“Members of the public may see an increased police presence in the area and if you are stopped you should not be concerned, as officers are there to increase safety within the community and try to prevent violence.”
