Emergency services were called to a property in Ayley Croft at approximately 7:00pm on April 19, following reports of a stabbing. Officers from the Metropolitan Police arrived at the scene alongside London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance.

“We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was driving through Ayley Croft between 6:30pm and 7:30pm and may have dashcam footage. No detail is too small.”
He urged anyone with information to contact the police on 101, quoting CAD 5741/19APRIL.
Detective Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines, Borough Commander for Enfield, added:
“We understand the concern that this will cause local residents. Neighbourhood officers will be working alongside specialist detectives to support the community and provide reassurance in the coming days.”
