| Reason for Authority (Brief Summary for Publication) |
We will be using Section 60 powers in parts of Birmingham tonight and overnight in response to potential planned disorder.
Earlier today we arrested a man on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance after we received information about a potential ‘block party’ due to take place in Aston tonight (Sat).
Previous ‘block parties’ in the area have resulted in disorder and this will not be tolerated in our communities.
We believe the ‘block party’ was being organised in the area of Staniforth Street and Bagot Street.
The powers will be in place in the area on the map, from 8.30pm today (Saturday) until 3.30am tomorrow morning (Sunday).
Section 60 powers allow us to stop and search people without the need to have reasonable grounds.
As always, our main focus is on keeping everyone safe.

There will be an increased presence in the area to offer reassurance to the local community.
If you saw or heard anything, or have any footage which could help our investigation, call us on 101 quoting log 1306 of 18 October.
In an emergency dial 999.
