The Police says a Dispersal Zone and Section 60 stop and search order have been put in place.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner (DAC) Laurence Taylor said “Officers have responded to residents complaining about a large gathering, noise, anti-social behaviour and violence.

Our robust police response demonstrated that we will police incidents like these firmly and stop those intent on causing harm or disruption to our communities.”
