A Section 60 order that was in place in Aylesbury following a stabbing on Tuesday in New Street has now ended.
Whilst the Section 60 order was in place, officers searched a number of individuals and made two arrests.
This is in addition to the arrest we have made in relation to the stabbing on Tuesday.
Detective Chief Inspector Steven Jones
“We have now ended the Section 60 order, which was put in place to give our officers enhanced powers for stop and search.
“Searches carried out led to the arrest of a man for possession of a hunting knife and another individual for possession of drugs.
“These are not linked directly to the offence which led to the Section 60 order but show the effectiveness of putting such powers in place to protect our communities.
“We are still investigating the stabbing that took place on Tuesday and we have arrested one teenage boy in connection who has been bailed.
“Anyone with information around this offence should either make contact with us online or call 101 quoting reference 43220202328.
“You can also make a report anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website”.
“Although the Section 60 order has expired, you will continue to see more officers in the area to continue to provide reassurance to members of the public.”
