Shenley Brook End School incident: Police update

Investigations are continuing following a report of an incident at a school in Milton Keynes yesterday (April 5). 

But police now say that enquiries 'indicate that no knives were taken into the school premises,' and no weapons were recovered from the scene.

There had been great concern after reports that four males had entered Shenley Brook End school premises - some with knives and face coverings.

It is in relation to a report that four males were seen leaving a silver Vauxhall Corsa and entering the grounds of the school, sometime between 3.10pm and 3.40pm, some of whom had knives and face coverings.

Investigating officer, Sergeant David Brenchley of the Milton Keynes Emergency Response Team, said: “We understand that this report would have caused concern within the community, but further enquiries now suggest that there is no evidence that knives were taken into the school, and there were no injuries.

"I would like to reassure the community and parents that children in the school were not put at risk.

“Thames Valley Police will always investigate reports such as this extremely thoroughly and always look to reassure the community of police presence.

“The vehicle that was believed to be involved in the incident has been recovered by officers.

“However this investigation is ongoing and we are still appealing for witnesses so that we can fully establish the circumstances.

“Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting 867 (5/4).”
