Under Section 60, officers have extra powers to stop and search people in a defined area within the specific times listed. Section 60AA allows us to require people to remove face coverings used to disguise / conceal their appearance.
This tactic has been introduced following a number of incidents of disorder overnight in the Royton area of Oldham, including reports of a group of men with weapons, and an incident which has left a man with life changing injuries.
