Hello Resident,

We have enacted a Section 60 order in High Wycombe this evening following two stabbings and a person being hit by a car.

We have an increased police presence in the Castlefield area and officers have made one arrest after the incident at around 5.20pm. 

The three victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The order temporarily enhances powers for our officers to prevent further violence, meaning they can stop and search anyone in the area defined by the map below.

The order will be in place for 24 hours, but could be extended if deemed necessary.

These are emergency powers and the threshold to implement them is very high, however we are using them to keep our communities safe.

If you are stopped by an officer, please do not be worried as this does not mean that you are in trouble. If you are in the area and have any concerns, you can speak to any of our officers who will be on patrol throughout this evening and tomorrow.

Anyone with information about the incident then please call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference 1647 of today.

We would like to thank the public for their patience while we were on scene. 

Kind regards,
