Section 60 Imposed Across Liverpool
In a bid to curb further violence, a Section 60 order was slapped on Liverpool, letting cops stop and search anyone suspected of carrying weapons or plotting crimes. The order stays until 8:40pm Sunday.
Police Chief Hits Out at Disorder
Assistant Chief Constable Alex Goss blasted the troublemakers: “These violent individuals do not represent Merseyside. They dishonour the memory of the three young girls tragically lost earlier this week.
“Instead, they attacked our officers, causing serious injuries. They have terrorised residential streets, targeted local businesses, and damaged property. This behaviour is disgraceful and won’t be tolerated.
“Many involved were youths – parents, please know where your children are to keep them safe.
“If you have any information or know who’s behind this, contact us immediately. We’re determined to bring those responsible to justice.”
