A Section 60 has been enacted in parts of North East Milton Keynes following groups of youths gathering earlier today (0June 3) in the North East of Milton Keynes.
It is believed there may be increased tensions leading to a possibility of violent behaviour.
The Section 60 will be in place for 24 hours, lasting until 7.45pm on Saturday (June 4). The order will be reviewed and maybe extended if deemed appropriate.
The order covers the following areas:
East of V8 Marlborough Street, including estates of Great Linford, Gifford Park, Blakelands, Redhouse Park, Tongwell, Caldecote, Newport Pagnell, and the area to the East of the A509 and to the South of the A422, in and around the villages of North Crawley, Little Crawley, North End and East End (See map).

Inspector Jenkins said: “I have authorised this Section 60 which allows our 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.”
